Service access
The service access shows more options and information than the normal interface, some very useful like the system logs, change the IP or restart the modem itself. Username and password are normal: TELMEX and the factory WiFi password.
2Wire Gateway 2700HG: http://home/mdc, The http://gateway.2wire.net/management, The http://192.168.1.254/management.
2Wire 4011G: http://home/xslt?PAGE=C_4_0, The http://gateway.2wire.net/xslt?PAGE=C_4_0, The http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_4_0.
Configuring a 2Wire Gateway 2700HG without using the Telmex program (from Linux, for example)
The Gateway must be connected to the local network (the Ethernet light must be on) and to the telephone line (the DSL light should be on without blinking; if it flashes constantly, means it does not detect a DSL signal).
To view the modem configuration page, you have to be in the same range. By omission, the address of the modem is http://192.168.1.254 and brings DHCP enabled, so it is possible to change the address / add an alias to our network adapter to the range 192.168.1 and then open http://192.168.1.254; or configure the adapter connection to use DHCP (“Get IP / DNS automatically”) and restart / repair it.
The first time the modem starts in the configuration wizard. You have to enter a code (there is more in http://www.2wire.com/?p=268):
Preconfiguration for Prodigy Infinitum: 52AD-2AD4-6266-22NA-B27M
Preconfiguration for PPPoE: 5225-26P4-6262-22AS-B2E7
Full manual configuration: 5225-2374-WG62-22AS-BJ7P
Once you have provided your username and password, the modem will proceed to connect. You can cancel the wizard at any time to access the full setup page. If you change the IP of the modem, remember to change / renew your machine immediately after.
To disable routing services (including DHCP, NAT, y PPPoE) on the modem to put it in bridge mode, (“bridge,” so you can route from Linux or Windows), you have to enter the administration and diagnostic console in http://homeportal/mdc, Broadband link -> Configure and change VCI to 35, disable ATM PVC Lookup, and change Connection Type to Direct IP Address; and finally disable routing in Advanced -> Configure Services.
