1.2 Management Options
Management options available in this WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway are listed below:
Web Management
Web Management is of course done over the network. Once the WLAN VoIP
Residential Gateway is on the network, you can login and monitor the status remotely
or locally by a web browser. Local console-type Web management, especially for the
first time use of WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway to set up the needed IP, can also
be done through any of the four 10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports located at the front
panel of the WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway. Direct RJ45 LAN cable connection
between a PC and WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway is required for this.
SNMP Management
(See 3. SNMP Management for detailed descriptions.)
1.3 Interface Description
Before you start to configure your device, it is very important that the proper cables with the
correct pin arrangement are used when connecting the WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway to
other devices such as switch, hub, workstation, etc. The following describes correct cables
for each interface type.
WAN 100Base-FX Fiber Port
1x100Base-FX Fiber port is located within the upper-left corner of the front top of the
WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway. This port is primarily used for up-link connection
and will always operate at 100M/Full Duplex mode. Duplex SC or WDM Simplex SC
types of connectors are available. Use proper multimode or single-mode optical fiber
to connect this port with other Fast Ethernet Fiber port.
LAN 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 Ports
4x10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports are located at the front of the WLAN VoIP
Residential Gateway. These RJ-45 ports allow user to connect their traditional copper
based Ethernet/Fast Ethernet devices into network. All these ports support auto-
negotiation and MDI/MDIX auto-crossover, i.e. either crossover or straight through
CAT-5 cable may be used.
Since there is no separated RJ-45 Management Console port for this WLAN VoIP
Residential Gateway, however any of these four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports can be
used temporarily as the RJ-45 Management Console Port for local management. This
temporary RJ-45 Management Console Port of the WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway
and a RJ-45 LAN cable for PC connections are required to connect the WLAN VoIP
Residential Gateway and a PC. Through these, the user then can configure and
check the WLAN VoIP Residential Gateway even when the network is down.
