BPG510 User Interface Guide About your Broadband Phone Gateway (BPG510) FRONT (1) Power – The Power light is solid green when the power is on. (2) Service – The Service light is solid green when you are authenticated with Packet8 (3) WAN – The WAN light is green to indicate that your modem is connected properly to the Internet. It blinks rapidly when information is being sent over the port between BPG510 and the modem.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Opening the BPG510's Configuration Utility Your BPG510 VoIP phone provides a browser-based configuration utility. You can configured the phone using the same web browser you use to surf the Internet. To open your phone's configuration utility, follow these instructions: 1. Connect a computer with a web browser directly to the LAN port of your BPG510.
BPG510 User Interface Guide If you have any trouble opening the utility, first check the connection between your computer and the BPG510. Then, reboot your computer while it is connected to the BPG510. © 8x8 Inc.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Connecting to Your Broadband Modem Setting up with DHCP The BPG510 is configured for use with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. If your broadband connection uses DHCP, then you simply have to connect your phone's WAN port to your broadband modem and then connect the power on the phone. (See the BPG510 Router configuration Guide for detailed connection diagrams.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Setting up with PPPoE Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is often used by DSL broadband providers to connect and authenticate users on their networks. The service provider will give you a user name and password, and usually some additional software you need to run in order to go online. The BPG510 can take the place of the additional PPPoE software, allowing you to establish and maintain your broadband connection without running any extra programs on your computer.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Connecting Local Computers Connecting a single computer If you want to connect a single computer to the Internet through your BPG510, use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the BPG510's LAN port to your computer's Ethernet port. You may have to reboot your computer after you connect it to the phone, but no other configuration should be necessary.
BPG510 User Interface Guide 5. Under Port Range, enter the first port of the range you want to forward in the first box and the last port of the range in the second box. If the service you are supporting only uses one port, enter the same port number in both boxes. Ports in each range must be consecutive. If your service uses non-consecutive ports, simply enter them as two separate port ranges. 6. Under Protocol, select whether the ports in the range are UDP ports, TCP ports, or BOTH. 7.
BPG510 User Interface Guide CAUTION The BPG510 cannot protect a computer running as a DMZ from malicious access. Any computer running as a DMZ should be running a PC based firewall. Traffic sent to the DMZ is still subject to translation by NAT. This means that applications that are damaged by NAT will still be affected. 1. Open the configuration utility. 2. In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select LAN. 3. In the menu bar across the top of the screen, select DMZ.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Detailed Screen Reference WAN Menu WAN Status The WAN Status screen displays information about the connection between the BPG510 and the DSL or cable modem. Interface Status indicates the WAN interface has been activated. NO indicates the interface has not been activated. ENABLED YES PROTOCOL Displays the protocol the BPG510 uses to communicate with the modem. INTERFACE STATUS UP indicates the interface is functioning. DOWN indicates the interface is not functioning.
BPG510 User Interface Guide WAN Configuration The WAN Configuration screen allows you to set the BPG510 to operate with your DSL/cable modem. CAUTION Saving the WAN Configuration reboots the BPG510. Device Operating Mode This section allows you to select BPG510 as a switch or a router device. If you connect BPG If you are connecting BPG510 as a client behind another router then you will select BPG510 as a SWITCH.
BPG510 User Interface Guide GATEWAY is the IP address of your service provider's router. DNS ADDRESS Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server used by your service provider. Use the following format: XXX.XXX.XXX.X PPPoE The WAN PPPoE screen configures the BPG510 to support point-to-point protocol over Ethernet. CAUTION Saving the PPPoE Configuration reboots the BPG510. Enable PPPoE Select YES to activate the PPPoE protocol.
BPG510 User Interface Guide MAC Cloning The MAC address is a unique hardware address assigned to each Ethernet device. If your provider requires you to have a single MAC address, enter the MAC address that your provider expects. The BPG510 will then transmit all packets as if they originated from that MAC address. LAN Menu LAN Configuration The LAN Configuration screen controls the IP address of the LAN port on the BPG510.
BPG510 User Interface Guide DHCP Server Configuration The DHCP Server Configuration screen enables the router to automatically assign IP address to attached computers using the Dynamic Host Control Protocol. Server Configuration Select ENABLED to activate the DHCP server and have the BPG510 assign IP addresses for connected devices. © 8x8 Inc.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Client IP Address Range Enter the range of IP addresses available to local devices. The BPG510 can support 32 IP addresses, and the address range must be consecutive numbers between 1 and 255. Client Network Information Domain Name Enter the domain name used by the local LAN, if any. DNS Server 1 & 2 Enter the IP addresses of the primary (1st) and secondary (2nd) DNS servers used by the local LAN.

BPG510 User Interface Guide Router Configuration Dynamic Routing Dynamic routing allows the BPG510 to learn routing tables from other network devices by means of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). With RIP, network devices can broadcast messages containing information on the status of network connections. RX Mode means we listen to and process RIP messages, TX Mode means we send RIP information to other routers.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Gateway IP Enter the IP address of the gateway (i.e., the next router in the network path) to the destination device. Destination IP Address Enter the IP address of the device you want to configure static routing for. Any Ethernet packets destined for this IP address will be routed according to this configuration. Metric Enter the metric associated with this static route.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Reserved Ports The adaptor reserves ports 5060-5061 and 10000-10015. Port Forwarding to LAN PORT RANGE Enter the first and last numbers of the port range you wan to map to this computer. If you want to forward a single port only, enter the same port number in both spaces. NOTE: Port ranges are consecutive. If you need to assign nonconsecutive ports to a computer, you must enter that computer twice with different port ranges.
BPG510 User Interface Guide Filtered LAN IP Addresses Enter the IP addresses you want to block from accessing the Internet connection. Select Both. The computer at the IP address you specified will now be blocked from Internet.
BPG510 User Interface Guide SYSTEM Menu Set Security Password New password Enter the password you wan to use for this account. Confirm new password Enter the same password again for confirmation. Localization The Localization screen controls the time and place settings. Page 22 of 27 © 8x8 Inc.

If you don't enter an NTP server, the time and date stamp on Caller ID messages may not work correctly. Time Zone Select the time zone where the BPG510 is currently operating.
BPG510 User Interface Guide uses this information to locate/manage calls during troubleshooting. AUDIO/RTP STATISTICS Displays RTP/RTCP statistics for the call (e.g. the number and percentage of lost packets, jitter, latency etc.) Error Log The error log screen is used for gathering diagnostic information that could be used later by a Packet8 technician to help investigate a network problem or a disruption of service.
