SAGEMCOM F@ST 5355 GATEWAY
Disclaimer
This is not an official document. I am not employed by Telstra nor am I an IT person. I wrote this
document because setting up my gateway was a hassle due to the lack of a manual or any set up
information on Testra’s Web Site. I don’t guarantee the accuracy of it content. What worked for me might
not work for you.

Login
Open a browser and type 10.0.0.13 8 into the address bar and press enter. The default password is admin
Change Gateways Login Password
Once logged in the first thing I do is change the password to something easy to remember.If the password
is forgotten the modem will have to be reset resulting in the loss of all settings.
Click on User Settings

Telstra’s nternet User Name and Password
If Link Light is green and the On Line light doesn’t turn green these are the first settings I would check.
Click on Broadband
The User Name is the one provided by Telstra for the internet connection. Example
[email protected]. It probably is but might not be the same as your Telstra My Account User Name
and Password.
For ADSL connections PPP Enabled should be On.

Parental Control
Click on Parental Control
The internet and access control tab is where you can set the times a device can access the internet.
In the Select drop down list every device ever connected to the gateway is listed by its MAC address.
Note devices that can be connected by either Wi-Fi or Ethernet will have two different MAC addresses.
The same settings will need to be set for both MAC addresses.
The example shows two devices that have been set to only have access to the internet between 8.00am
and 8.30pm.
Click on apply once you have finished setting up the access times.

The URL filter tab is where access to malicious sites can be blocked for all devices. The example above
blocks access to google.
Click on the Add Address to add a site. Enter its URL
If there are more sites to be blocked Click Add Address and enter its URL.
Repeat for all the sites to be blocked.
Click on Apply when all sites to be blocked have been entered.
Connecting Wi-Fi Devices.
1. Using WPS
Press and hold the Pair button on the front of the gateway until it starts flashing blue. Follow the
instructions supplied with the Wi-Fi device.
Note WPS needs to be turned on in UI (See Change Wi-Fi SSID and Password)
2. Manually using SSID and Network Key.
There is a label with the SSID and Network key located on the bottom of the gateway. The Base
cover has to be removed to access the label.
The SSID and Network key are also displayed on the home page of the gateway.
Follow the Wi-Fi device’s instructions for manually connecting to a Wi-Fi network.

Address Reservation.
There are two ways to set up address reservation.
The easy way is to click on the device on the home page and then click on Reserve Address. This doesn’t
always work and when it doesn’t any further attempt to change address reservation results in an error
message. It even stuffs up the hard method of address reservation. To remove the error the gateway must
be powered of and then powered back on. A reboot does not fix the problem.
The hard way is to click on Advanced.
Click on gateway settings
Click on DHCP

Click on Add Reserved Address.
Click on Add MAC Address. The drop down list contains the MAC addresses of every device that was
ever connected to the gateway.
Select the device that needs a fixed address.
If the device is currently connected the IPv4 Address will automatically be filled in. Suggest you change
the address to something over 50 (10.0.0.51) to prevent reserved address being taken by another device.
Click on apply.
Note
1. If you changed the IPv4 Address you will have to disconnect and reconnect the device for the
changes to take effect.
2. The maximum number of reservations is 15
3. If the device with a reserved address is not connect another device can use its IP address so don’t
use IP addresses near bottom of DHCP IP range.

Port Forwarding
For port forwarding to work you need a fixed IP LAN address. (See Address Res e rvation for how to do
this)
There are two ways to set up Port Forwarding. I will describe the easy way.
Click Home.
On the centre left of the page are a list of connected devices.
Click on the device you wish to port forward.
Click on Port Forwarding
Click on Add Rule

Enter a descriptive name.
If you wish to forward a non standard port select Other as the service. If you select a predefined services
from the drop down list the Protocol, External and Internal ports are pre filled.
If you select Other
• the Protocol defaults to TCP. TCP protocol should work for most devices. Don’t change it unless
your application or device documentation tells you to use another protocol.
•Check the device or the devices application settings for the correct internal port number to use.
•Use the same External port number as the Internal port number. Only use different port numbers if
the same Internal port number is used on more than one application or device.
Leave the external host as any unless you want to restrict remote access to one external site.
The internal host is pre filled.
Click on Add.
Your port forwarding rule will be added to the list.
1. Note. This gateway does not support NAT Loop back so devices connected to the gateway can not
connect to port forwarded devices using the external address plus external port number.
The port forwarding tool at http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ can be used to check if the
port is open.
