The gateway provisioning parameters are dynamic, and vary depending on the software version that the 
gateway is running.
 Module Configuration. Configuration parameters for modules listed in the Advanced Link Manager 
States page. The parameters are set by broadband provisioning.
 UI Param Configuration. Configuration parameters that affect the user interface and user interaction. 
The parameters are set by broadband provisioning.
 Ser ver Set Configuration. Configuration information defining how the gateway is connected to and 
interacts with backend provisioning.
 Firewall Configuration. Configuration information for the firewall.

Advanced - Configure Time Services Page
The Advanced – Configure Time Ser vices page allows you to view and change system time and date 
settings.
Figure 47. MDC Advanced Configure Time Ser vices Page
During the 2Wire gateway setup process, you specify the time zone in which you are located so that the 
time and date are automatically displayed in the 2Wire gateway user interface. These time settings are 
displayed in the Current Time Settings panel, which shows the current date, time, time zone, and whether 
the time was automatically or manually configured. If you wish to manually set the time and date, you can 
do so in the Manually Set Time/Date panel.
Note: To access this page, your network must have the Remote Management feature enabled. 
If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to access 
this page. 
						

							Management and Diagnostic Console

To manually set the time and date:
1.Check the Enable checkbox.
2.In the Time field, enter the time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format (for example, 10:02:11).
3.In the Date field, enter the date in YYYY/MM/DD format (for example, 2006/10/09).
4.From the Time Zone pull-down menu, select the time zone. The available time zones are Hawaii, Alaska, 
Pacific, Mountain, Arizona, Central, Eastern, Indiana, and Atlantic (Canada).
5.Check the Daylight Savings Time checkbox if you wish to automatically adjust for daylight savings time.
You can also specify the time ser vers from which you wish to obtain system time by entering the time server 
Internet address in the Time Servers fields. These settings are typically provided by the service provider 
and/or backend management system.

Advanced - Configure Services Page
The Advanced – Configure Ser vices page allows you to enable the 2Wire gateway to operate in bridged 
mode, change the timeout settings for NAT, enable notification messages, enable the SIP ALG, and change 
the upstream maximum transmission rate.
Figure 48. MDC Advanced Configure Services Page
Routing
By default, the 2Wire gateway is configured in routed mode. The Advanced – Configure Ser vices page allows 
you to configure the 2Wire gateway to operate in bridged mode. 
Note: To access this page, your network must have the Remote Management feature enabled. 
If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to access 
this page.

IMPORTANT: Bridged mode is intended for testing purposes only, as in WT-062 (ADSL), BER (Bit Rate 
Error), or industr y standard performance tests. When routed mode is disabled, the 2Wire gateway can no 
longer be managed via CMS, and any DSL connection will require an external PPP connection (via software 
of third-party hardware). It is strongly recommended that you disable routed mode ONLY if you thoroughly 
understand the ramifications of doing so.
To operate the gateway in bridged mode:
1.Deselect the Enable Routing checkbox.
2.Click the Submit button.
Most gateway features are now disabled, including firewall and stateful packet inspection, DHCP, NAT, DNS, 
PPP, and remote management. The gateway no longer functions as a gateway and is, in effect, a multi-
protocol (Ethernet, wireless, and USB) bridge.
Computers connected to the 2Wire gateway will retain the IP address assigned by the gateway’s DHCP 
ser ver until a new IP address is obtained from an alternative DHCP ser ver, or is manually assigned.
To re-enable routed mode:
1.Configure the computer’s IP address to work on the same subnet as the gateway.
a. From the Windows desktop or the Star t menu, right-click the My Network Places icon, then left-click 
Proper ties.
b. Right-click the icon that represents the network connection to the gateway, and 
left-click
 Proper ties.
Note: When routing is disabled the gateway’s local IP address is set to 192.168.1.254 
(subnet 255.255.255.0).

c. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Proper ties button.
d. In the General tab, click the 
Use the following IP address radio button.
In the IP address field, enter an IP address between 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. In the Subnet 
mask field, enter 255.255.255.0. In the Default gateway and Preferred DNS server fields, enter 
192.168.1.254.
e. Click 
OK.

f. If required, reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
2.Attach the computer to the Local Network por t of the 2Wire gateway.
3.In the Web browser address bar, enter 172.16.0.1/management.
4.Click Configure Ser vices.
5.Click the Enable Routing checkbox.
6.Click the Submit Settings button.
The gateway PPP, routing, and TCP/IP functions are now re-enabled, and the Local Network LED will turn 
Green. The computer can now be reset to a DHCP-assigned IP address, or left to obtain it statically.
Changing Timeout Parameters
By default, TCP and UDP are configured to timeout in 1,440 and 10 minutes, respectively. You can change 
the parameters by entering different values in the TCP Timeout and UDP Timeout fields, and then clicking 
the 
Submit button.
Enabling Broadband Status Notification
To receive a notification message that the gateway has lost broadband connectivity and cannot access the 
Internet, check the 
Enable checkbox.
Enabling Missing DSL Filter Notification
To receive a notification message that the gateway has detected a missing DSL filter, check the Enable 
checkbox.
Enabling SIP Application Layer Gateway
To enable the SIP ALG on the gateway firewall, check the Enable checkbox.
Changing the Upstream MTU
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest size packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-byte 
bits), that can be sent from a computer to the network. The 2Wire gateway’s MTU varies, depending on the 
connection type used (for example, PPP or direct IP). 
Note: This field will display only if the CMS organization has the Broadband Status Notification 
feature enabled.
Note: This field will display only if the CMS organization has the Missing DSL Filter Notification 
feature enabled.

To change the gateway’s upstream MTU:
1.In the Force Upstream MTU field, enter the value specified by the ser vice provider.
2.Click the Submit button.

Advanced - Static Routes
The Advanced - Static Routes page allows you to manually configure static routes that specify the 
transmission path data must follow between devices on the gateway network.
Figure 49. MDC Advanced Static Routes Page
To define a static route:
1.In the Subnet IP field, enter the IP address of the network to which you want to configure a static route.
2.In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask of the destination network.
3.In the Gateway IP field, enter the IP address of the router for the specified subnet.
4.Click the Add button.
Note: To access this page, your network must have the Remote Management feature enabled. 
If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to access 
this page.
