Document Overview
Background In September 2011, Frontier Legacy phased out the residential and business
class Sagem HSI modems (SE567 and SX762) and replaced them with the
Westell 7500. Although a good replacement for the Sagem modems, the
7500 is a temporary solution because it will be manufacturer discontinued in
2012. The final solution, which is similar to the 7500 but has many
improvements, is the Netgear 7550.
Note: Westell sold its modem technology to Netgear in early 2011 and
Netgear has rebranded the 7550 as a Netgear product. Except for the
name change the Netgear version is the same as the Westell version.
Replacing the 7500 with the 7550 results in several significant changes to
Frontier Legacy Business HSI installs:
•The 7550 replaces the 7500 for Business Class HSI products
•The 7550’s gateway address is 192.168.254.254
•The 7550 includes Wireless N
•The 7550 includes a second, “Guest”, wireless network which allows
customers to provide wireless access to their guests without the risk of
those guests accessing the customer’s network or the 7550’s
administrative features
•The 7550 can be setup without a DSL connection

Multiple LAN Support
LAN Support The 7550/7500 supports two simultaneous LAN networks: Private and Public
NOTE: The Private LAN address for the 7550 is 192.168.254.254, the Private
LAN address for the 7500 is 192.168.1.1.
The SE567 only supports a private LAN*: customer devices assigned private
addresses (like 192.168.254.1).
The SX762 only supports a public LAN*: customer devices assigned public
addresses (LAN Block from work order).
*When provisioned to product specifications
Modem Number of LAN
networks
supported
Type of LAN network
supported
SE567 (resi or dynamic business) 1 Private
SX762 (static business) 1 Public
7550/7500 (resi or business) 2 Private + Public
What does this
mean?
When deploying a 7550 to a Static Business Class customer, there are no
restrictions on wireless use. (Wireless devices can use the Private LAN)
Any customer devices manually provisioned with the assigned LAN Block IP
addresses will use the Public LAN. These devices on the Public LAN will
have unrestricted Internet access, both incoming and outgoing.
Any customer devices requesting an IP address will be assigned addresses
from the Private LAN (via the DHCP server). These devices on the Private
LAN will have unrestricted Internet access in only the outbound direction (to
the Internet). Internet devices trying to initiate a connection to a Private LAN
device will be blocked by network address translation (NAT). – just like

Multiple LAN Support, Continued
Working with
two LANs
At the conclusion of a Business Class install both Private and Public LANs
will be enabled and configured.
Note: The WAN and Public LAN addresses were simply chosen for example.
They will be different for every install.
Any device connected via wireless or wired that requests an IP address will
be automatically assigned an IP address from the Private LAN (via the DHCP
server).
To access modem: Use the 7550’s Private LAN address - 192.168.254.254
How many devices can the Private LAN support?
Answer: 33 devices (with default settings)

Typical two
LAN scenario
A typical scenario using both Private and Public LANs together is shown
here: A customer with 1 usable public LAN address (/30) can still benefit
from wireless by using the 33 available private addresses for wireless
connections.
Wireless users connect, and are assigned private IP addresses. They access
the Internet through the Private LAN – just like residential HSI.
Wired devices have been pre-provisioned with addresses from the Public
LAN block. They access the Internet through the Public LAN.
Devices on different LANs do not have access to each other.

Connect the
gateway
Follow these steps to properly connect the gateway prior to configuration:
Step Action
1
Install microfilters (A)
on all of the occupied phone jacks or
run a dedicated line directly to the phone jack from the NID.
Note: Microfilters vary. Use a phone line splitter with a single-
port microfilter or a dual-port microfilter (as shown).
2
Connect the Ethernet cable (B)
between the computer and
gateway.
3
Connect the RJ
-
11 phone cable (C)

Auto Configuration
Auto
Configuration
On initial setup (out of box installation) or after a factory reset, the 7550 will
run auto configuration. During the process, 7550 automatically detects WAN
connection type, i.e. DSL or Ethernet (E1/Uplink Port). It also auto detects
the PVC (0/35, 8/35 and 0/36) and connection type, i.e. PPPoE or Routed
Bridge (aka DHCP). Once the auto configuration completes, the user will be
directed to the Setup Wizard.

Gateway Configuration
Walled garden An Internet connection that is restricted prior to authentication. The Frontier
Netgear 7550 gateway has a built-in walled garden, also known as the one-
time setup wizard. When the walled garden/setup wizard is successfully
completed, the customer should be able to surf the Internet.
Configure the
gateway
After the physical connections are made, follow these steps to complete the
one-time setup wizard:
Step Action
1 Turn the switch labeled
Power
on the gateway’s back panel
to the On position.
Result: The modem boots and the DSL LED begins to blink
(training).
2 Wait for the
DSL
LED to be solid green (trained).
If ... Then ...
The LED is solid green Continue to step 3.
The LED stays flashing
(slow) green or off,
Check the physical
connections.
3 Open a web browser on the computer connected to the
gateway.
Result: The web browser should redirect to the gateway’s
one time setup wizard. If it does not, type a known URL (i.e.,
www.frontier.com, or www.yahoo.com) or 192.168.254.254
into the web browser address field.
