Please note that for some configurations the 5 GHz WiFi interface may be unavailable for up
to 10 minutes due to prolonged radar detection mechanism, which is signalled by the WiFi
LED blinking. If the 2.4GHz WiFi is enabled, it will operate normally.
Connectors
The i68xx front panel includes all the local user connectors that are four RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T
ports, two USB ports, two POTS phone ports and one F-type CATV RF output port. Optical fiber connectors are
placed inside the device. The rest of the fibers (reserve) is covered by a tray which is screwed down to the device
coaster. It is necessary to take the device cover o in order to access the fibers.
The i4850 bottom panel includes five RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T ports (1xWAN and 4xLAN), two
USB ports, and two POTS phone ports.
100Base-BX/1000Base-BX Optical Port
The i68xx uses standard SC port connectors to attach 9/125 micron single mode fiber optic cables. For data it is
an SC/PC connector with a TX wavelength of 1310 nm and an RX wavelength of 1550 nm, and for CATV it is an SC/
APC connector with a wavelength ranging from 1290 to 1600 nm.
10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ports
The Icotera CPEs use 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connectors. The 10Base-
T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T port connectors are configured as MDI–X (Medium Dependent Interface – Crossover).
The CPE uses auto sense ports that are designed to operate at 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or at 1000 Mb/s, depending on
the connecting device. These ports support the IEEE 802.3u auto negotiation standard, which means that when a
port is connected to another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, then the two devices negotiate
the best speed and duplex mode. The 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T RJ-45 switch ports also support half- and
full-duplex mode operation and can connect to 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s Ethernet segments or nodes.
USB Ports
The Icotera CPE is equipped with one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port that supply 5 V at 500 mA.
POTS Ports
The Icotera CPE uses FXS RJ-11 (2-pin modular) port connectors for POTS (VoIP) connections. The CPE has two
FXS ports, so it is possible to configure two independent telephone numbers.
Power Port
The power port accepts DC 12V power source. It is important to make sure that the proper power adapter is suitable
to a particular region.
On/O Switch
The On/O switch enables you to switch the CPE on or o, as well as reboot it and restore the last saved configuration.
Reset Button
The Reset button has four modes of operation:
• when CPE is operating - pressed for less than 10 seconds: restarts CPE - WAN LED blinks green.
• when CPE is operating - pressed for more than 10 seconds: restores default CPE settings - WAN and VoIP 1
LEDs blink green.
• when CPE is o - power-on with reset button pressed for less than 10 seconds: restores default CPE settings
- WAN LED blinks green.
• when CPE is o - power-on with reset button pressed for more than 10 seconds: boots CPE from the second
bank - WAN and VoIP 1 LEDs blink green.
Serial Number
The serial number of the Icotera CPE consists of 13 digits. The format of the serial number is PPPPCCXXXXXXX,
where PPPP is the product ID, CC is the product variant, and XXXXXXX is the running serial number. For example
6855001234567 would be a serial number of the i6855-00 device with a running number of 1234567

Band steering policy setting is shared by 2.4 and 5GHz radio interfaces. If settings for both
interfaces are changed during web UI session, then policy defined in the 802.11ac section take
precedence.
Figure 17. Access point settings of the Wi-Fi item of the Settings menu

configured access point:
• Enable: enables or disables particular access point,
• SSID: access point name that will be seen when scanning for available Wi-Fi networks,
• Encryption: type of encryption key and encryption algorithm used to secure Wi-Fi transmission between ac-
cess point and its clients. Available choices are None, WEP-64, WEP-128, WPA AES and WPA AES (depending

• Encryption key: password used for connecting to the access point. Entered characters will be displayed, when
the Show password checkbox is checked.
• Hidden: if checked, chosen access point will not be detected by simple network scanning. It is however recom-
mended to leave this box unchecked, since hiding AP does not provide any layer of security.
• Client isolation: if checked, trac between clients of the access point will be blocked. This option may be used
to create “guest” access point, so all devices connected to that AP will be isolated one from another.
• Enable WPS: enables or disables WPS based procedure for a given access point.
The WPS section allows to perform WPS based procedure:
• Start WPS: activates WPS procedure.
The Wi-Fi Schedule section allows to define AP access intervals for days of a week.
• Enabled: activates Wi-Fi access scheduling:
* Enabled: enables access interval for a particular day or for all days,
* Day of week: day of week or everyday,
* From: start of access time in a 24-hour hh:mm format,
* To: end of access time in a 24-hour hh:mm format.
The ACL settings section provides an Ethernet layer 2 filter, which can be used either to allow or to deny particular
clients to connect to the chosen AP, based on their MAC addresses:
• Client limit: limit of clients that may be connected to the access point; check the checkbox and enter desired
client limit. The maximum value is 32 clients.
• Access list behavior: defines desired behaviour of the access list:
* allow: allows only devices in the access list to connect to the AP,
* deny: prevents devices in the access list from connecting to the AP and allows all the other devices to con-
nect,
* none: disables access list.
• Name: meaningful string that allows to identify a particular device, e.g. my smartphone, used as a quick refer-
ence.
• MAC Address: physical address of wireless adapter in a client device. The valid address must be specified as a
string of six octets separated by colons or hyphens, e.g. 02:00:54:FF:4E:01 or 02-00-54-FF-4E-01.
• Enabled: includes device in the current access list. To temporarily exclude the device from the access list, un-
check it.
• Clear: removes device from the access list.
The maximum number of allowed connected clients is 255.
• Reset: resets all changes made to access point settings during the current session; Save: saves all changes
made during the current session; Apply: applies all changes saved during the current session.
Backup
The Backup item of the Settings menu provides tools for uploading and downloading CPE configuration files.
The Upload config from local file section allows to read configuration from a local file:
• Upload file: press Choose file button to select configuration file from a local drive,
• Status: status of upload operation (e.g. no operation done or nothing to change).
The Download file section allows to save current configuration to a local drive:
• Click to download config: press Save button to generate and save file with the current CPE configuration.

Using network diagnostic tools
The Diagnostic menu contains Ping, Traceroute, Wi-Fi scan, and Reset items, which can be used to troubleshoot
connection problems and to reboot the CPE. As this menu does not include any configurable options the Reset,
Save, and Apply buttons are disabled.
Ping
Ping diagnostic tool is used for testing reachability of a host in an IP network.
Figure 19. Ping tool of the Diagnostic menu
• Ping address: IPv4 address or host name to be pinged,
• Use predef. val: uses default ping parameters (64 data bytes and 10 packets). If Use predef. val box is not
checked, it is possible to specify custom ping parameters:
* Packet size: data size in bytes,
* Packet count: number of packets to be sent.
• Ping: starts sending ping packets to the specified address,
• Stop: interrupts ping command,

• Results: output of ping operation is displayed continuously in this field,
• Status: current state of diagnostic tool (as Running or Not running).
Traceroute
The Traceroute diagnostic tool is used for displaying route and measuring transit delays of packets across an IP
network.
• Address: destination IPv4 address or host name,
• Diag: starts tracing route to the entered host,
• Stop: interrupts running of the traceroute operation,
• Results: output of the traceroute operation is displayed continuously in this field,
• Status: current state of diagnostic tool (as Running or Not running).

Wi-Fi scan
The Wi-Fi scan tool enables to execute a site survey for all wireless networks in the neighbourhood. As a result of
this survey, a list of scanned access points is presented. There is a separate scanner for both Radio interfaces.
Figure 21. Wi-Fi scan tool of the Diagnostic menu
• Scan: starts site survey process,
• Site survey: information about detected networks:
* CH: operating channel number of a network,
