2 Before You Install
"Since Vantage Access comes with its own Apache HTTP server and MySQL
database server, it is recommended that you install Vantage Access on a new
Linux computer. If you plan to install Vantage Access on an existing Linux
computer, you must uninstall existing Apache and MySQL from that server;
otherwise they will conflict with Vantage Access.
Vantage Access consists of three packages: DB, BED and HTTPD. You can install them
separately on different computers or on the same one.
• DB: This is the embedded MySQL database server of Vantage Access.
• BED: BED comprises the protocol suite that is used to manage compatible devices, an Apache
server and a watchdog service.
• HTTPD: This is the download server HTTP Daemon used for files store and transfer. These files
include device firmware, configuration, log and Vantage Access system files.

Troubleshooting
1I cannot start Vantage Access.
• You must reboot your computer after installing Vantage Access.
• Make sure Vantage Access DB has started. See Section 4 on page 8.
• If the "Error: Remote DB is not alive!" message displays, this means that you
have specified the wrong Vantage Access DB server IP address during the Vantage
Access BED installation. Uninstall and install Vantage Access BED with the correct IP
address. Refer to the uninstalling chapter in the User’s Guide and page 5 in this guide.
• Make sure you can connect to Vantage Access DB. If the MySQL server is on a different
computer, then maybe the computer is off or the connection to the computer is down.
2I cannot display the Vantage Access login screen.
• This may happen if you have already installed Apache with your Linux distribution. Unin-
stall Apache.
wan tr active 1 Activates TR-069 remote management.
wan tr acsUrl
172.25.21.174/TR069
Sets the IP address of the Vantage Access
server. For example, 172.25.21.174.
wan tr periodicEnable 1 Enables periodic information update to the
server.
wan tr informInterval 30 Sets the information update time. For example,
30 seconds.
wan tr debug on Enables TR-069 debug mode to view logs.
wan tr save Saves the settings.
wan tr reset Sets the device to register to the Vantage
Access server right away.

• If you installed Vantage Access BED and Vantage Access HTTPD on the same computer,
uninstall and install Vantage Access HTTPD is using a different port number other than
80.
3I cannot log into Vantage Access.
• Make sure the Vantage Access server is turned on.
• Make sure you have started Vantage Access on the server.
• Make sure you enter the correct IP address of the Vantage Access server.
• The default user name is "root" and the default password is "root". They are case-sensi-
tive.
• If you enter the wrong password three times for a user name, you have to wait for 10 min-
utes before Vantage Access allows you to log in again with the same user name.
4My web browser does not display the screen properly.
• Display the screens using only the supported web browsers. Refer to Section 1 on page 2.
• Make sure you have installed Macromedia Flash Player 9.0.
• It is recommended you use a monitor with a screen resolution set to 1024 by 768 pixels.
5I cannot see my compatible device in Vantage Access.
• Make sure you have entered or imported an XML file containing the correct device infor-
mation to Vantage Access. See Section 7 on page 11.
• Make sure you have properly set and activated management of compatible protocols on
the device. See Section 7.3 on page 12.
• The initial device discovery process may take up to three minutes depending on your net-
work condition.
6I see "[error] cannot add the device to Vantage Access, maybe database cannot be
connected or OUI-SN is duplicate" when I import device(s) using an XML file.
• Make sure your OUI (the part of device’s MAC address that uniquely identifies a company)
and SN (device’s LAN MAC address) information in the XML file are not duplicated with
any existing device listed in the device list panel. Correct the information in the XML file
and upload it again.
• Make sure you can connect to Vantage Access DB. If not, reset the DB by entering "./
stop.sh" and "./start.sh" under Tr069_db directory.
