DataOne user manual

(Applicable for Huawei MT 841 CPE )

1. Installation Procedure:
1. Connect the CPE to telephone line as well as to your PC (Refer the documentation given on CD
accompanied with CPE). After you power-on the CPE, the ADSL modem takes around one minute to
synchronize. Verify that the Power LED is on and ADSL link LED is glowing & in stable condition.
The Alarm LED should be off.
2. Configure IP address on your PC: Go to the TCP/IP properties of ‘Local Area Connection’ in your
PC and configure the IP address as 192.168.1.XX (say 25) and gateway as 192.168.1.1 and enter the
DNS server IP addresses as 192.168.1.1 (Primary DNS). Refer detailed procedure given on TCP/IP
configuration. If you wish to use USB port please refer the procedure given for installing USB driver.
3. Configure CPE: BSNL broadband is based on ADSL technology and uses PPPoE for authentication
and accounting the user access. The CPE (ADSL Modem) is multi featured powerful router. It can be
configured in two modes.
a. Bridge Mode (factory default): in this mode CPE works as Ethernet bridge and user has to
run the PPPoE client software in PC. WinXP has PPPoE client inbuilt but other operating
systems need third party software.
b. PPPoE mode: In this mode CPE works as router and PPPoE session is terminated on CPE.
The PPPoE client is inbuilt and the user name & password can be configured through web-
based access to CPE configuration. The minimum configuration required is given in this
document. For details on various advanced features refer the document CD of CPE. BSNL
prefers to configure the CPE in PPPoE mode however if subscriber wishes to use in bridge
mode, he can reconfigure the CPE on his own.

key in your PC/Laptop which you have entered in CPE wi-fi security configuration. For
this go to the properties of Wi-Fi connection, select the tab Wireless Networks. Then
select the wi-fi network name (more than one networks may be present in your area,
identify your network by SSID name which is configured in modem. Normally the CPE
model name ( i.e. MT841) is factory default SSID setting) and click on Properties. Look
for field Data Encryption and network ID, select WEP as Data Encryption and enter the
network ID which you have entered in CPE configuration as Encryption Key.
These steps may be different for different client Wi-Fi hardware/software. The
screen shots of a typlical example (Win XP) are given below.

Steps for troubleshooting

1. I am not able to Browse.

a) Check that ADSL line is properly connected, CPE is powered on and ADSL link LED is
glowing in stable condition.
b) Check that LAN cable is properly connected to PC and LAN link LED is glowing in
stable condition. If LAN LED is not stable then check that LAN cable is connected
properly or replace the cable and check. In case the LAN cable is connected to LAN
switch or HUB, you have to use a cross cable. If the LAN LED is still not glowing, then
veify that LAN card is properly installed with suitable driver or get the help of your
computer service person for doing so. If you connected USB port, verify USB port LED.
c) If all the physical installation is correct but still you are not able to browse. Then check
that-
i. The TCP/IP setting are configured as desired with correct gateway address
and DNS server IP addresses. To verify open the DOS window and type ping
192.168.1.1 it should give output ‘Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32
time<1ms TTL=64’.
ii. Ensure that no proxy setting is configured in Browser. In Internet explorer
you can verify as following –
iii. Open the Internet explorer and Click on Tools and select Internet Options.
iv. Click on Connections tab and select LAN Settings. See if any proxy setting is
configured. Uncheck the proxy settings box and click OK.
d) If still it is not working, then login to CPE configuration page (http://192.168.1.1)
through Internet Explorer. Click on “System information” and observe the parameters
ADSL state, SNR value (SNR value should be more than 10) and report to BSNL.

2. I am not able to send the mails using Outlook Express.

a) Probably you have not coinfigured dataone email in your Outlook Express.
b) You have configured multiple Email accounts ( e.g. VSNL mail account) in your Outlook
Express and default account for outgoing mail is other than Dataone Mail account. Some
ISPs do not allow their SMTP access from network of other ISPs. Therefore you should
make Dataone Mail as default account for all outgoing mails so that the outgoing mail
should go using dataone email id.
c) Our SMTP server needs authentication. Make sure you have ticked the ‘My server needs
authentication’ in account properties while configuring the Outlook Express.
FAQs

1. I am a Business customer having our own POP server or mails with own domain
but want SMTP service for relaying mails.

BSNL does not provide SMTP relay service for mail IDs of other than Dataone.in or
Sancharnet.in domain.

2. Whether browsing is counted as download?

Any data tramsfer whether it is browsing, mail, chat, voice etc, is counted as
download and similarily upload also. Kindlyt refer the tariff details for free data
transfer limt and incremental usage charges for your dataone plan. It is advised to keep
your PC secured and free from virus and spywares to avoid unwanted data transfer.

3. I want static public IP.

One static IP will be given if you subscribe business5000 or Business 9000 plan.

4. I am not getting desired speed.

Apart from bad ADSL line there are several factors which affect Internet speed badly especially
while accessing International sites. Even though PC may is latest but Win98/2000/NT have
technical limitation to support speeds above 200 Kbps. The virus/spyware infected computers are
most common reasons to frustate you. For more details log on to www.banagloretelecom.com
and refer our document on ‘optimise your dataone speed’.

5. How to connect multiple computers?

The CPE provided by BSNL is ful fledged router with all the adavnced features like
NAT/Firewall etc. ( Pl refer documant provided on CD). If you want to share the connection
among more than one computer. You just need to connect the output of CPE ( LAN cable) to a
HUB/LAN switch instead of PC. Only thing is that if LAN switch/ HUB does not have uplink
port you have to replace the LAN cable with a cross LAN cable. Configure TCP/IP settings in all
the PCs with IP address in the range ( 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.255) and default gateway as
192.168.1.1. You may use DHCP feature if you wish automatic IP assignment. Refer CD
documentaion provided along with CPE for more details.
