APPENDIX A: ADVANCED FEATURES
This appendix outlines the advanced features of SmartRG brand home gateway products.
Connect-and-Surf (Automatic Broadband Connection Configuration)
The Connect-and-Surf feature automatically establishes a WAN connection for default-configured gateways obviating the need for
manual or custom configurations. The active physical layer is detected (ADSL, VDSL or GigE) and layer 3 connectivity is established
using PPP authentication or DHCP.
Note:
If you prefer to configure your gateway's WAN interface manually, connect a laptop to any of the LAN ports and follow the
instructions in the
Logging in to Your SmartRG Gateway
and
sections of this User Manual. Do not connect the WAN
interface cable until after the configuration is completed.
Activation (Automatic ACS Connection Configuration)
SmartRG gateways are designed to discover their service provider-specific ACS management settings without custom firmware. We
maintain an activation server that associates a device's MAC address with its service provider's ACS settings. Our gateways contact the
activation server to have their ACS settings modified on initial power up (or after being reset to factory default settings).
Note:
Activation server support is provided for ALL SmartRG gateways at no additional cost. SmartRG Inc. enters gateway MAC
addresses into the activation server prior to shipment.
TR-069 Remote Management: ACS Support
With a rich TR-069 heritage and a strong commitment to standards based, remote management, SmartRG gateways are designed for
maximum interoperability with industry leading, TR-069-based remote management systems. Our gateways provide maximum remote
manageability and the highest level of visibility into the connected home yielding:
l
Shorter integration times

SmartRG works closely with industry-leading, TR-069 automated configuration server (ACS) solution providers (such as those shown
