CHAPTER 1
Introducing the FMG
1.1 Overview
The FMG is a Gigabit active fiber bridge.
FMG refers to these models as outlined below:
• FMG3005-R20A
• FMG3010-R20A
The following table describes the feature differences of the FMG by model.
1.1.1 Internet Access
Your FMG provides shared Internet access by sliding the FMG down the fiber box gently to fix the FMG
into place, so the fiber optic cable connects to the FMG. See the Quick Start Guide for how to do the
hardware installation.
In addition, you can connect computers, IPTVs, gaming consoles, and other Ethernet devices to the
Ethernet ports for fiber-speed Internet access.

1.2 Ways to Manage the FMG
This is recommended for management of the FMG using a (supported) web browser.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the FMG
Do the following things regularly to make the FMG more secure and to manage the FMG 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.
• 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 FMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the FMG. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
1.4 Hardware
This section describes the front, side, and rear panels for each model. Refer to the FMG’s Quick Start
Guides to see the product drawings and how to make the hardware connections.
1.4.1 Front Panel
The LED indicators are located on the front panel.

The following table describes the items on the panels.
1.4.2.1 The LED Button
Press the LED button for more than two seconds to turn on/off the LEDs.
1.4.2.2 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations
that you had previously. The password will be reset to the factory default (see the device label), and the
LAN IP address will be “192.168.1.1”.
1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for more than five 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.
1.4.3 Rear Panels
The fiber connector is located on the rear panel. See the Quick Start Guide for how to do the hardware
installation.

1.5 Installation Scenarios
The FMG can be:
• Placed on a desktop.
• Wall-mounted on a wall.
The following table summarizes the installation scenarios of the FMG by model.
Note: Make sure to use the rubber feet when stacking the FMG on a desk.
Make sure there is clearance at the sides and a distance between the screw head and
the wall to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.
Note: Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the
weight of the FMG with the connection cables.
Warning! Do NOT block the ventilation holes on the FMG. Allow
clearance for the ventilation holes to prevent your FMG from
overheating. Do not store things on the FMG. Do not place a FMG on
another high temperature device. Overheating could affect the
performance of your FMG, or even damage it.

CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy system setup and
management via Internet browser. Use a browser that supports HTML5, such Internet Explorer 11, Mozilla
Firefox, or Google Chrome. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your FMG.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1Make sure your FMG hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2Launch your web browser. If the FMG does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen, go to
http://192.168.1.1.
3A password screen displays.
4To access the administrative Web Configurator and manage the FMG, type the default user name
admin and the randomly assigned default password (see the device label) in the password screen and
click Login. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
Note: If the management session is left idle for 300 seconds, you have to log in with your
password again.
