LAN
The four yellow RJ45 Ethernet ports located on the back of the gateway (labelled LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4) are used to connect
client devices such as computers and printers.
WAN
The red RJ45 port labeled WAN is used to connect the SR905ac gateway to another network device using a RJ45/Ethernet cable.
USB 1 & 2
Two USB ports (two 3.0 ports on back) are used to connect USB storage devices to the gateway for transferring data. They also
provide +5 VDC for charging other devices.
POWER
lUse ONLY the dedicated power supply included with your gateway (3-amp 12 v). Intended for indoor use only.
lDo NOT open the device. Opening or removing covers can expose dangerous high voltage points or other risks. ONLY qualified
service personnel can service the device. Please contact your vendor for further information.
External Buttons
The SR905ac gateway provides push-button controls on its exterior for critical features. These buttons provide a convenient means
to trigger WPS mode, toggle the WiFi radios on and off, or reset the gateway. The button functions are described below.

SmartRG Inc., an Adtran company. Proprietary and Confidential. All Rights Reserved. © 2020 9
WPS Button (5 GHz Band)
WiFi Protected Setup™ (WPS) is a standard means for creating secure connections between the gateway and various wireless client
devices. It is designed to simplify the pairing process between devices. Thisbutton is located on the left side of the gateway.
Press this button for 1-3 seconds, the 5 GHz LED starts to flash. If no client pairs with the gateway after 2 minutes, the 5 GHz LED
turns off. When the gateway pairs successfully with a client, the 5 GHz LED glows solid for 5 minutes and then turns off.
WiFi Button (2.4 GHz Band)
The WiFi button toggles the 2.4 GHz WiFi radio on and off. This button is located on the left side of the gateway. Look at the 2.4 GHz
LED indicator to determine the current state of the WiFi radio.
To activate the radio, press and hold the WiFi button for 3-5 seconds then release. Expect a 1-3 second delay before the 2.4 GHz
LED turns on. The WiFi radio is now on.
To deactivate the radio, press and hold the WiFi button for 3-5 seconds then release. Expect a 1-3 second delay before the 2.4 GHz
LED turns off. The WiFi radio is now off.
On/Off Button
The On/Off button turns the gateway on and off. This button is located on the left side of the gateway.
Reset Button
Warning: Do not press the Reset button unless you want to clear the current settings.
The Reset button returns the gateway to its default settings. This button is in a small circular hole in the back of the gateway with
the actual button mounted behind the surface. This style of push button prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset
during handling.
To restore the current default settings, insert a thin wire (such as a paper clip) into the hole, press for 1 second, then release the
button. The gateway reboots and returns to the current defaults.
To return the gateway to factory default settings, press the Reset button until the LEDs flash red and orange. The gateway reboots
and returns to the default settings applied in the factory. This process may take a few minutes.

Installing your SR905ac Gateway
1. Connect the gateway to incoming services:
lFor Ethernet services, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the gateway and connect the other
end of the cable to the wall jack installed by your provider.
lFor fiber services:
a. Slide open the small door at the right end of the gateway's back.
b. Insert the SFP transceiver (included with the gateway) into the port.
c. Connect one end of the fiber cable to the SFP transceiver and connect the other end of the cable to the wall
jack installed by your provider.
2. Connect a LAN port on the gateway to your PC using an Ethernet cable.
3. Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end of it to the Power port of the gateway.
4. Turn on the unit by pressing the Power button on the side of the gateway.
The gateway is now automatically being set up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a few minutes to complete before
you can begin using your Internet applications (browser, email, etc.).
If connection to the Internet is unsuccessful, verify that all cable connections are in place and the gateway’s power is turned on.
