1.4 Ways to Manage the SBG3500-N Series
Use any of the following methods to manage the SBG3500-N Series.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the SBG3500-N Series
using a (supported) web browser.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your SBG3500-N Series.
1.5 Good Habits for Managing the SBG3500-N Series
Do the following things regularly to make the SBG3500-N Series more secure and to manage the
SBG3500-N Series more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters. The password must have at least six
characters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the SBG3500-N Series to its factory default settings.
If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the
SBG3500-N Series. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the front of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or
until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink,
the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
