CHAPTER 1
Introducing the VMG
1.1 Overview
The following table describes the feature difference of the VMG by model.
The VMG is a VDSL modem, which provides fast Internet access over a plain telephone wire. After you
make the connections and turn it on, the VMG can automatically access the Internet. Refer to Section
18.3 on page 68 if you cannot access the Internet.
It also supports VDSL bonding that allows the combining of DSL connections for even faster speeds.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) where UPnP devices can dynamically join the VMG network is also
supported.
You can use the Web Configurator to view traffic statistics, upload firmware and allow external
management of the VMG.
1.2 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the VMG in various network environments. Note that the
VMG in the figure is just an example VMG and not your actual VMG.
1.2.1 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.
A computer, gateway, or router can connect to the VMG’s LAN port.
Table 1 VMG Comparison Table
VMG4005-B50A VMG4005-B60A DESCRIPTION
Annex A
(ADSL over
POTS)
V - The telephone line carries voice and ADSL. If you have
standard analog lines (POTS) and your ADSL is coming over
POTS, you need to use Annex A.
Annex B
(ADSL over
ISDN, can
be used
on normal
POTS lines
as well)
- V Voice, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and ADSL
are on the same line. If you have ISDN line or telephone and
your ADSL is coming over ISDN, you need to use Annex B.

Figure 1 VMG’s Internet Access Application
DSL Bonding
DSL bonding allows the VMG to aggregate two DSL lines into a virtual connection. The VMG will have
higher bandwidth and faster transmission speed at longer distances. Note that the two DSL lines must
come from the same ISP, and they both need to support DSL bonding. Also, only DSL 1 supports
telephone service.
To set up your network for DSL bonding:
Example 1
1 Connect a two-line splitter to the VMG (DSL in the figure).
2 Connect two DSL lines to the two-line splitter.
3 Connect the two DSL lines to two separate telephone jacks (Wall).

Example 2
Connect the DSL port on the VMG (DSL in the figure) to a telephone jack.
The ISP will split the DSL connection at their end for DSL 1 and DSL 2 bonding.
Figure 3 VMG’s Internet Access Application: DSL Bonding (Example 2)
1.3 Manage the VMG
Use the Web Configurator for management of the VMG using a (supported) web browser.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the VMG
Do the following things regularly to make the VMG more secure and to manage the VMG more
effectively.
• Change the Web Configurator password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the VMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VMG. You could simply restore your
last configuration.

1.5.3 Bottom Panel
The connection ports are located on the bottom panel.
Figure 5 Bottom Panel
The following table describes the items on the bottom panel.
1.5.4 RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations
that you had previously. The password will be reset to the factory default (see the device label), and the
LAN IP address will be “192.168.1.1”.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for more than 5 seconds or
until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults
have been restored and the device restarts.
Ethernet
Green On The VMG has a successful 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection with a
device on the Local Area Network (LAN).
Blinking The VMG is sending or receiving data to/from the LAN at 10/100/1000
Mbps.
Off The VMG does not have an Ethernet connection with the LAN.

CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy VMG setup and
management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 11 and later versions or Mozilla Firefox 67.0.2 and
later versions or Safari 5.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your
VMG. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows 10.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your VMG hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Make sure your computer has an IP address in the same subnet as the VMG. Your computer should
have an IP address from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. See Section 18.4 on page 69 for details.
3 Launch your web browser. If the VMG does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen, go to
http://192.168.1.1.
4 A login screen displays. Select a language you prefer.
5 To access the administrative Web Configurator and manage the VMG, type the default username
admin and the randomly assigned default password (see the device label) in the login screen and click
Login. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.

Note: The default allowable times that you can enter the Password is 3. If you entered the
wrong password for the fourth time, by default the Web Configurator will lock itself for 5
minutes before you can try entering the correct Password again. You can change
these settings in Maintenance > User Account > Add New / Edit Account (see Section
11.2.1 on page 40).
6 The following screen may display when you log into the Web Configurator for the first time. Enter a new
password, retype it to confirm, and click Change password. If you prefer to use the default password,
click Skip.
