1 INTRODUCTION This document provides some indications about how to configure the VDSL2 ZyXEL P8701T, supplied as Telefonica Home Station VDSL2, using the web configurator built-in this device. To configure the broadband service provided by Telefonica, it is recommended to follow the instructions covered in the User’s Guide included in the package.
2 FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS The VDSL2 router supplied within the Home Station VDSL2 package is pre-configured by factory default settings in a dynamic multiuser mode, with the DHCP server enabled (this is, it will assign and IP address to those PCs in the internal network configured to obtain the IP settings dynamically) and the wireless LAN interface disabled.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS Figure 2-1: Router access The factory default values for the CPE Username and Password parameters are 1234 and 1234 respectively. Telefónica highly recommends to modify the default access password to the router. Refer to section 3.1 - PASSWORD MODIFICATION. 2-2 Version 1.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS Figure 2-2: Web GUI main page In next section you will find how to make some basic operations using the web configurator embedded in this ADSL router.
3 BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER 3.1 PASSWORD MODIFICATION This is the first operation recommended to be made.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER 3.2 CONFIGURING THE ROUTER If you are going to connect only one PC to your router, a monouser configuration would be enough. In that case, it is recommended to install a firewall and an antivirus software updated and enabled in your PC due to it will be directly connected to the internet. On the other side, if you expected to connect different devices to your router, you must select the multiuser configuration.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-2: Private network address options configuration in multiuser mode If you want, you can change in this screen the router IP address (IP Address and IP Subnet Mask) and the DHCP server settings (Start IP Address, End IP Address,…) according with the private network desired values. It is not recommended to modify any other parameters. Once introduced previous values, press Apply/Save button and the router will be updated properly. 3-3 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER The WAN configuration options are the features required for the VDSL2 interface. Select: Advanced Setup -> WAN to display next screen: Figure 3-3: WAN configuration MULTIUSER DYNAMIC (FACTORY DEFAULT OPTION) Go to Advanced Setup WAN and press the Edit icon associated to the existing WAN interface and you will obtain the following screens sequence, where appearing an example of configuration for this case.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-4: Screens sequence WAN configuration in multiuser dynamic mode In the multiuser configurations, the NAT feature must be enabled, as it can be appreciated in the summary table displayed in previous screen (NAT : Enabled). Once completed these previous fields, press Apply/Save button to make the router saves the changes properly. 3-5 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER MULTIUSER STATIC Go to Advanced Setup WAN and select the Remove checkbox, pressing next the bottom Remove to delete the existing WAN interface. Figure 3-5: Remove WAN interface After that, press on the Add bottom in the same screen, to add a new WAN connection and you will obtain the following sequence of screens where an example appears configured for this case.

BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER 3-8 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-6: Screens sequence WAN configuration in multiuser static mode In the multiuser configurations, the NAT feature must be enabled, as it can be appreciated in the summary table displayed in previous screen (NAT : Enabled). 3-9 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Once completed these previous fields, press Apply/Save button to make the router saves the changes properly. 3.2.2 MONOUSER CONFIGURATIONS These are not highly recommended settings for this router due to the advanced features supported by this device cannot be used. In this case, the PC is the device directly connected to the internet, where the NAT feature in the router is disabled.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-7: Screens sequence WAN configuration in monouser dynamic mode Once completed these previous fields, press Apply/Save button to make the router saves the changes properly 3-11 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER MONOUSER STATIC First of all, it will be required to assign an IP address to the router. To obtain this address it is necessary to perform a logical AND operation between the public IP address and the network mask (these values appear in the information received from Telefonica) and add 1. For example, let’s suppose your public IP address is X.X.X.135 and the network mask is 255.255.255.192.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER received for the broadband line. In the next screenshots you can find the rest of parameters already configured with the right values. It is recommended not changing them. To move forward to next screens, press the Next bottom on each page. It is only required a management IP address (shown in the information received). In this example, it will be used the 10.0.0.5, as can be shown in next screen. 3-13 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER 3-14 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-9: Screens sequence WAN configuration in monouser static mode Once completed these previous fields, press Apply/Save in the last screen of the sequence and the router will be configured as expected. 3-15 Version 1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER 3.3 PORT FORWARDING If your router is configured in multiuser mode, the NAT feature will be enabled. This feature implies that you could need to forward some ports to use some applications (online gaming, videoconference, etc.).
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-11: Port Forwarding-2 Press Apply/Save button and the rule will be stored in the router. Add as many ports as you need. For safety reasons it is recommended to close all ports not in use, this is, removing them from the above table. 3.4 CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS LAN If you want to configure the ADSL router Wireless LAN interface, keep in mind to use similar settings in the wireless LAN clients to be associated to the router.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Movistar recommends, for safety reasons, to enable always some encryption in the wireless network. If the network has no 802.11b clients, it is suggested to use WPA encryption. But in the case some 802.11b client could be associated to the router, then it is recommended to use WEP 128-bits encryption. NOTE: The VDSL2 router IP address will depend on the configuration mode (multiuser/monouser , static/dynamic). In this case, we will take, as reference, the 192.168.1.1.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-13: Additional parameters of the WLAN interface WEP ENCRYPTION In Wireless -> Security section, it will be possible to configure the WEP encryption parameters, choosing the value Open for the parameter “Network Authentication” and the value Enabled for the “WEP Encryption” parameter. We strongly recommend you to avoid the No Security option. As a reference, it has been selected a WEP encryption with 128-bits with encryption key 1234567890123.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-14: Wireless LAN enabled with WEP encryption Once completed previous fields, press Apply/Save and the router will be configured as expected. WPA ENCRYPTION In Wireless -> Security option, select the WPA-PSK modality in the “Network Authentication” option in previous figure (see figure 3-14). In the figure 3-15 it appears an example based on this WPA encryption with the key aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-15: WPA encryption settings Once introduced previous parameters, press Apply/Save and the router will be configured as expected. 3.5 OTHER OPERATIONS Within this section, the next operation is included: FIRMWARE UPGRADE This is a critical operation which can make your router useless, so you must act carefully and use appropiate firmware versions. It is a must to use OFFICIAL FIRMWARE releases approved by Movistar for this model.
BASIC OPERATIONS ON THE ROUTER Figure 3-16: Firmware upgrade Press the Examinar button looking for the file containing the firmware in your PC and press Upload Software. The process will start and you will be informed about the process progress till it was completed. REMIND not to switch off the router nor disconnect it from the PC during the upgrading process. Wait few minutes for the router reboots.
