Setting up the MTA

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the MTA and configuring your PC's IP settings.

Preparing for Installation

Before you begin the installation process, you will need to know the connection type used by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Installing the MTA

If you have only one PC that will need to access the Internet, your broadband service provider uses DHCP, and you do not have a router, continue to the following section, Installation without an External Router.

Installation without an External Router

These instructions explain how to set up the MTA with one PC. The diagram below displays an example of this configuration.

VERIFYING THAT YOU HAVE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

To verify that your PC can now access the Internet through the MTA and that your broadband connection is functioning properly, open a Web browser on the PC connected to the MTA, and attempt to connect to a Web site.

Installation with an External Router

If you already have a router that allows you to share your broadband connection with multiple PCs, the recommended configuration connects the broadband modem directly with the MTA, which connects to the external router, which connects to the PC.

Recommended Configuration with an External Router

This configuration is recommended if you have a router and would like to set up the MTA while allowing multiple PCs to access your broadband connection.

ALTERNATE CONFIGURATION WITH AN EXTERNAL ROUTER

If you already have a router connected to your broadband connection and you do not want to change your configuration, you can connect the MTA to the router.

Configuring the MTA WAN Interface

There are four (4) possible methods in which your ISP provides an IP address to the MTA:

Using DHCP Addressing

DHCP enables individual computers on an IP network to obtain their configurations from a server (the DHCP server).

Configuring Your PC for DHCP Addressing

In order to connect to the Internet, you must first configure the PC connected to the LAN port to use DHCP so that it can obtain an IP address from the MTA's built-in DHCP server.

VERIFYING THAT THE PC HAS OBTAINED AN IP ADDRESS

To verify that the PC obtained an IP address:

Logging into the Web Management Tool

Web Management tool to configure the WAN interface settings.

Using Static IP Addressing

Now that you have configured your PC to access the Internet via the MTA's built-in router and logged into the Web Management tool site, you are ready to configure the device's WAN interface to use static IP addressing.

Using PPPoE

This page allows you to define PPPoE settings, based on your service provider's information.

Using MAC Cloning

Some service providers authenticate from the customer's location via the customer's MAC address (on the PC).

Placing Calls

Overview

Placing calls using the InnoMedia MTA is almost as easy as placing a regular phone call – with added benefits.

Understanding Dial Plans

Dial plans allow you to dial phone numbers as you normally would from the specified country instead of having to dial as if you are in the United States.

Calling with a North American Dial Plan

To place a call to another North America phone number on your MTA using a North American dial plan:

Calling With a Non-North American Dial Plan

If you obtained your MTA from a distributor, it should already be set up with your local dialing plan.

Using the Web Management Tool

Overview

The InnoMedia MTA XT 6328-2Re Web Management tool can be used to review the device's settings and configure features.
