SECTION 1: GUI ACCESS Section 1.1 ACCESSING THE GUI Step 1: Accessing the GUI via a web browser 1.A Open your Web Browser Use the modem’s LAN IP Address to access the GUI locally This is most likely http://192.168.1.254 1.B If you are not sure what the IP Address is, you may view the gateway address assigned, via DHCP, to the NIC Card of your PC or Device. Place the IPv4 Gateway address into the address bar of your browser. VisionNet M605N Page 3 End User Manual Revision 3.
1.C Once the modem responds, you will be challenged for a User Name and Password Local Access Username: enduser Password: password 1. D You will be directed to the Main GUI Page VisionNet M605N Page 4 End User Manual Revision 3.
SECTION 2: DIAGNOSTICS Section 2.1 VIEW DHCP STATISTICS Step 1: Access the GUI to find DHCP Statistics 1.A Select the “Gateway Statistics” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “DHCP” WHAT THESE STATISTICS MEAN: This page will provide the IP Addresses assigned by the modem’s DHCP server, the MAC addresses of dynamically assigned devices, and the amount of time that the device has spent on the network. VisionNet M605N Page 5 End User Manual Revision 3.
Section 2.2 VIEW ARP STATISTICS Step 1: Access the GUI to find ARP Statistics This step may be used to view all connected LAN devices, and is especially useful when using the “Reserve an IP Address” feature. 1.A Select the “Gateway Statistics” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “Hosts” WHAT THESE STATISTICS MEAN: This page will provide the MAC Addresses of all recognized devices connected to the modem.
SECTION 3: DNS CONFIGURATION Section 3.1 UNIVERSAL STATIC WAN DNS ADDRESSES The VisionNet Modem may be assigned different DNS addresses for each WAN Service. In the event that Static IPs are to be used, you may update and change the settings with the following procedure. Step 1: Access the GUI to find the DNS Server Page 1.A Select the “DNS” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “DNS Server” 1.
SECTION 4: LAN CONFIGURATION Section 4.1 CONFIGURING LAN SERVICES Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the LAN Configuration Page 1.A Select the “LAN” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “LAN IP CONFIGURATION” VisionNet M605N Page 8 End User Manual Revision 3.
Step 2: Configure LAN Settings 2.A Configure the LAN IP Characteristics IP Address: 192.168.1.254 (Unless your ISP has specified another address) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Enable IGMP Snooping: DO NOT CHANGE DHCP Server: Enabled Start IP Address: 192.168.1.64 End IP Address: 192.168.1.100 Primary DNS Server: 192.168.1.254 Secondary DNS Server: 192.168.1.254 or another DNS Server Leased Time (hour): 24 All other settings DO NOT CHANGE Configure Second IP Address: DO NOT CHANGE 2.
Section 4.2 RESERVING AN IP ADDRESS WITHIN THE DHCP SERVER DEFINITION OF RESERVED IP Some applications (Such as Port Triggering and DMZ Host) require a Static IP Address. Some devices, however, do not support Static IP Addresses or are portable in nature. These devices may be provided a Static IP Address via the DHCP Server. When a Reserved IP Address is specified, the modem will consistently provide the same dynamic IP Address to the specified MAC Address.
You will be re-directed to the “DHCP Static IP Lease” Page Enter the MAC Address of the intended LAN Host, and the IP Address that you would like to permanently allocate to that host. 1.C Select “Apply Save” VisionNet M605N Page 11 End User Manual Revision 3.
Section 4.3 ENABLING UPnP UPnP Definition Some applications, such as the XBOX, will require UPnP for operation. UPnP will dictate how devices share information on the LAN, and the Dynamic port rules to be used for Internet Content. Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the UPnP Page 1.A Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “UPnP” 1.B Select “Enable UPnP” You may enable / disable UPnP by toggling the checkbox. 1.
SECTION 5: NAT CONFIGURATION Section 5.1 CONFIGURING PORT FORWARDING COMMON APPLICATIONS XBOX: UPnP will resolve most XBOX issues, however should you need to do further trouble-shooting the following Port Forwarding Rules may be enabled Designation WAN Port LAN IP LAN Port Protocol XBOX Live 88 192.168.1.230 88 TCP/UDP XBOX Live 3074 192.168.1.
The most effective method of utilizing these rules, is to request that the end-user change the IP Address of their Camera to the following Static IP settings: IP Camera Configuration IP Address 192.168.1.23x Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway Address 192.168.1.254 DNS Address 192.168.1.254 The customer will remotely access their camera by pointing their browser to the Public IP Address of the modem, and appending the appropriate port number. (ie: 67.126.108.
Step 2: Configure the Port Forwarding Rule 2.A Choose the name of the rule Choose the appropriate WAN Interface: If the Service you would like to have is already available in the “Select a Service” menu, you may select this service for autopopulation. You may create a custom Service by selecting “Custom Service” and entering a new rule name VisionNet M605N Page 15 End User Manual Revision 3.

Section 5.2 CONFIGURING PORT TRIGGERING DEFINITION OF PORT TRIGGERING Port Triggering is a dynamic version of Port Forwarding, in which the modem will dynamically create a temporary port forwarding rule based upon outbound activity. This is best applied for LAN devices that communicate with a remote server. Basic VPN functions are already supported by default, but some applications use non-standard communication methods.
Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the Port Triggering Configuration Page 1.A Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “Port Triggering” 1.B Select the “Add” Button. Please Note: If the port to be assigned is already specified in the existing Port Triggering Table, you must remove the rule containing this port prior to creating a new one . VisionNet M605N Page 18 End User Manual Revision 3.
Step 2: Configure the Port Forwarding Rule 2.A Select the appropriate WAN Interface If the Service you would like to have is already available in the “Select a Service” menu, you may select this service for autopopulation. You may create a custom Service by selecting “Custom Application” and entering a new rule name 2.
2.C Select “Save/Apply” 2.D Considerations It may be difficult to determine which ports must be used for a particular application. It is best to specify the LAN device as the DMZ host to see if this resolves the issue. If this does not resolve the issue, the port triggering rule should be removed and replaced with port forwarding. Once port forwarding has been verified to work then port triggering may be re-visited.
Section 5.3 CONFIGURING THE DMZ HOST DEFINITION OF DMZ Host In the event that a remote application attempts to communicate via an inactive, or unspecified, port; the port will be dynamically forwarded to the IP Address specified as the DMZ Host. If a specific device is to be assigned as a DMZ host, this device should have either a Static IP or a Reserved IP. Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the DMZ Host Configuration Page 1.A Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset.
SECTION 6: WIRELESS CONFIGURATION Section 6.1 CHANGING THE WIRELESS CHANNEL When to change the Wireless Channel. Many items in your home, and your immediate neighbors’ homes, likely use the 2.4 Ghz range. There are 11 possible channels that may be used within this spectrum. If your wireless connection becomes very slow, or drops, there may be other devices that are impeding upon your network. This is when you should consider changing your wireless channel.
Section 6.2 CHANGING THE WIRELESS SSID When to change the Wireless SSID You may wish to broadcast a different network name than the one provided. Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the SSID Configuration Page 1.A Select the “Wireless” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “SSID” 1.
Section 6.3 CHANGING THE WIRELESS ENCRYPTION When to change the Wireless Encryption You may wish to use a special login password for your wireless network. NEVER LEAVE YOUR NETWORK UNENCRYPTED!!! THIS IS VERY INSECURE AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL TROUBLE SHOULD AN UNAUTHORIZED USER USES YOUR NETWORK FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY! Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the Security Settings Page 1.A Select the “Wireless” tab located within the left-hand frameset.
