Introducing the VMG
1.1 Overview
The VMG is a wireless VDSL router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway. The VMG works over the analog or
digital telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) and ISDN/T-ISDN.
• The VMG8825-B50B works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service).
• The VMG8825-B60B works over the digital telephone system, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital
Network) or T-ISDN (UR-2).
Only use firmware for your VMG’s specific model. Refer to the label on
the back of your VMG.
1.1.1 Internet Access
Your VMG provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the
DSL
or
MODEM
jack on a
splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL. The VMG
cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you configure in
for the
Network Setting > Broadband
screen.
Computers can connect to the VMG’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
