8. CONFIGURING YOUR GATEWAY FOR INTERNET CONNECTION
This section explains the procedures for accessing your VDSL Gateway, setting up you connection profile, and
establishing a WAN connection with you Internet service provider (ISP). Refer to this section whenever you need to
access or make changes to your Gateway or Firewall settings.
8.1 Accessing your VDSL Gateway
IMPORTANT: Your Gateway has the capability of automatically sensing protocol type (DHCP or PPPoE). This
process is designed to start after you have connected your Gateway. To access the Gateway, your PC must be
configured for DHCP. Refer to your Microsoft Windows help screen for information on configuring your computer
for DHCP. Click Start, then click Help to access the Microsoft Windows help screen.
To access your VDSL Gateway, start your web browser and then type the following IP address in the browser’s
address bar:
http://192.168.1.254
After you type the IP address, press Enter on your keyboard. The following screen will appear. Next, proceed to
section 8.2 to confirm your VDSL sync.

User Guide UltraLine II VDSL Gateway (Model 826010)
8.2 Confirming Your VDSL Sync
Your Gateway must first establish a VDSL sync with your service provider’s equipment in order to have Internet
access. To determine if your Gateway has established a VDSL sync, check the following:
• At the front of the Gateway, check to see if the Gateway’s VDSL LED is solid green. Solid green indicates
that a VDSL sync has been established. (The VDSL LED may flash while the connection is being
established.)
• At the Connection screen, check the VDSL Line Status. If the status displays Down, you do not have a
VDSL connection. If the Rate Down/Rate Up fields display numeric values, a VDSL sync has been
established, and the VDSL Line Status should display Up.
IMPORTANT: Confirm that the VDSL Line Status displays Up before proceeding with the Gateway’s
configuration. If you do not have a VDSL sync, first check your physical connections (refer to section 6, “Installing
the Hardware,” if needed). Then, if the problem persists, contact your ISP for further instructions.
After you have confirmed that your VDSL Line Status is UP, proceed to section 8.3, “Setting Up Your Connection
Profile.”
NOTE: If your Gateway has established a VDSL sync and if you are connecting via DHCP, follow the instructions
provided by your Internet service provider to connect to the Internet. However, if you are connecting to the Internet
via PPP, proceed to section 8.3 to set up your connection profile.

8.3 Setting Up Your Connection Profile
After you have confirmed your VDSL sync, you are ready to set up your connection profile. When connecting to the
Internet via PPP, you will use your connection profile to identify yourself to your ISP. Connection profiles can be
associated with specific service settings such as connection settings or NAT services, enabling you to customize
your Gateway for specific users.
IMPORTANT: Before you set up a connection profile, obtain your Account ID and Account Password from your
Internet service provider. You will use this information when you set up your account parameters. If you are at a
screen and need help, refer to the Help section located at the right of the screen.
Click Edit to begin your profile set up.
If you clicked Edit, the following screen will be displayed. This screen enables you to add new connection profiles
or to edit existing connection profiles in your account. The Connection Name field enables you to enter the desired
name that you wish to use for each profile that you set up. You may create and store up to eight unique connection
profiles in your Gateway, which you can use once you establish a PPP session with your ISP.
Profile Parameters include:
● Connection Name-the Connection Name is a word or phrase that you use to identify your account.
(You may enter up 64 characters in this field.)
● Account ID-the Account ID is provided by your Internet Service Provider.

sent to a LAN interface, so the received counts may not match the transmitted
counts if the rate of queries is not the same for both interfaces. Also, if multicast
streams are gong to more than one LAN interface, comparing LAN and WAN
counts may be impossible due to possible overlap in the LAN interface counts
(i.e., two LAN interfaces with the same stream will double count).
