Surewest Fiber to the Home (FTTH): Allied Telesis AT-iMG646BD-ON Active Ethernet fiber intelligent Multiservice Gateway (iMG)

In August 2007, we switched to Surewest Fiber (18 Mbps down/up) for phone and internet connectivity.

Surewest techs wall-mounted an Allied Telesis AT-iMG646BD-ON Active Ethernet fiber intelligent Multiservice Gateway (iMG) on the side of our duplex:

"With full routing and multicast capabilities, the AT-iMG646BD simultaneously delivers high quality IP Video, up to four lines of VoIP, and differentiated data services over 10/100T x 6 ports.Security for the service provider and subscriber are ensured through stateful inspection firewall and NAT. The AT-iMG646BD-ON accelerates network convergence through proven interoperability with major softswitch vendors using MGCP, SIP, and H.323 VoIP protocols. Designed for one- or two phase-installation, the AT-iMG646BD-ON has integrated fiber drop cable termination and fiber splice protection. A single fiber uplink ensures efficient use of network infrastructure."

We received:

• Model AT-iMG646BD-ON
• S/N: A03870G072300460 C
• Manufacture date: June 2007

LED's:

• Pwr: Lit ("The gateway is receiving power and the voltage is within an acceptable range.")
• Syst: Unlit ("The unit is working normally.")
• WAN: Lit ("A WAN link has been established.")
• VOIP: Flashing ("The VoIP network is operating.")

The tech markered "Paul 8-6-07" inside the box.

The tech secured the outer enclosure with a standard slotted screw and the inner enclosure with a hex security screw.

Our setup had four RJ-11 (phone) pigtail plugs and six RJ-45 (ethernet) pigtail plugs. RJ-11 plug #1 was unplugged, with one twisted-pair from our office's CAT cable plugged into it, and two other twisted pairs plugged into the #1 RJ-45 port.
