Appendix A: Advanced Features Overview
This appendix outlines the advanced feature set for 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 SmartRG'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 "Remote Managemen" 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 the use of custom firmware.
SmartRG Inc. maintains an activation server that associates a device's MAC address with its service provider's ACS settings. SmartRG gateways
contact the activation server to have their ACS settings modified upon 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.
