Internet User Guide

Please note: This guide is for Zyxel VMG8324 or VMG8924 routers only.

This is ﬁbre: this is the future

Welcome to the next-generation of communications: future-proof, cutting-edge

technology that allows for more entertainment, a richer experience and super-fast down-

loads. Seethelight deliver high-speed internet via ﬁbre optics that makes hi-tech applica-

tions, home working and video conferencing a reality.

Brace yourself – the broadband you’ve used in the past doesn’t compare to ﬁbre’s stunning

connectivity. It’s worth looking out for the little dierences from traditional data services –

but don’t worry, we’ll be covering them in the next few pages.

Please ensure that you read this guide carefully to help you get the best out of

your seethelight services.

*Exact layout of equipment may vary. Your internal wiring is the responsibility of the house owner/landlord.

To resolve an internal wiring problem please contact a qualiﬁed electrician. If a seethelight technician visits

your premises and the issue is caused by an internal wiring fault, you may be charged a call out fee.

Geek Speak:

Fibre is short for ‘ﬁbre optics’. Fibre optics are small glass threads through which light

is passed. Internet and voice data is converted from electrical impulses into light,

passed down the ﬁbre as light, then converted back into electrical impulses. This al-

lows data to ﬂow up and down the ﬁbre.

1. Your ﬁbre equipment

Because seethelight use ﬁbre to bring you high-speed internet, we use some

equipment that you may not be familiar with.

This next section will give you a quick overview of this equipment.

Your home will have either of these two set-ups:

Conﬁguration A:

Patch panel linked to internal wiring to enable internet service in multiple rooms.*

Internet User Guide- Zyxel VMG8324/VMG8924 routers Last Amended:11/03/2014

*Exact layout of equipment may vary

Conﬁguration B:

The same as ‘A’ but with no patch panel.*

ONT (Optical Network Terminal)

This is where the light that passes through the ﬁbre optics on the seethelight

network is converted into electrical signals for use by your telephone or computer.

The ONT is typically located in an understairs cupboard (though this may vary from

house to house). It has two or four internet and two telephony ports situated on

the underside.

Note: Make sure your ONT’s power supply is plugged-in and switched on or you will

not have a connection to the seethelight network for both telephony and internet.

The ONT has several lights located on it, which tell you its status. These lights

can be useful to help you troubleshoot any problems with your connection.

The table below describes the lights which may indicate a problem with your

connection.

Please note, the lights may vary between dierent versions of the ONT.

Action

* Check power and other cables are properly connected.

** Check that there are no bends in the ﬁbre connection.

Battery Back-Up

This useful piece of kit provides back-up battery power, so if the mains power fails,

you will still be able to make telephone calls for up to eight hours. Please note that

Internet services are not supported when your ONT is running on battery back-up

power.

Patch Panel

This can be used to distribute data services throughout the home via internal

cabling. Using the patch cables between the socket and the ONT, you can deliver

services wherever they are needed in the home (for more on this see 2.4 A ‘wired’

connection using the patch panel )

Telephony Master Socket and Telephone Adaptor

Applicable for voice services. Please see Telephone User Guide for more information.

2. Setting up your internet connection

Make sure you have the following:

Wi-Fi

ight

Off

WPS

DSL LAN 1 LAN2 LAN3 LAN4 WAN PHONE 1 PHONE 2 RESET POWER ON/OFF

Router Power Supply

Wireless Zyxel Router Network Ethernet Cable (colour may vary)

And make sure you can locate your

ONT (for more on this, see 1. Your Fibre

Equipment)

Internet User Guide- Zyxel VMG8324/VMG8924 routers Last Amended:11/03/2014

2.1 Before you begin

Your set-up options:

ˉA ‘wired’ connection from your Zyxel router to your PC/internet device (see page 9)

ˉA ‘wireless’ connection for your PC/internet device (see page 10)

ˉA ‘wired’ connection using your house’s internal wiring (see page 11)

Think about...

ˉWhether you want to connect your computer using a ‘wireless’ or ‘wired’ connection

ˉIf you want the best download and upload speeds available, then use a ‘wired’

connection to your router as internet speeds slow down over wireless connections

If you want to go ‘wireless’...

ˉIf you have a PC/laptop (made in the last six years), or Apple Mac then you

will be ready to go, as it will be‘wireless enabled’ as standard.

ˉNew Apple Macs and a few other devices, (such as Samsung Galaxy S4/S5/Note

3, Xbox One, HTC One and newest versions of the Macbook Pro) come with 802.11ac

enabled WiFi.

If your computer isn’t ‘wireless enabled’, you’ll need the following equipment:

ˉFor laptop: Wireless USB adaptor or wireless PCMCIA card

ˉFor PC: Wireless USB adaptor or wireless network card

And ﬁnally...

ˉFollow these instructions closely

ˉDon’t turn on your power supply until you’re sure everything is connected correctly

ˉDon’t attempt to disassemble any of your seethelight equipment

2.2 A ‘wired’ connection

This diagram shows a ‘wired’ connection from your router to your PC/internet device:

1. Insert ethernet cable into internet port 1 of the ONT.

2. Take the other end of this cable and insert it into blue WAN port of your router.

Take another ethernet cable and plug it into any of your router’s remaining ports

(labelled 1-4). You can then connect your PC/or other internet enabled device to the

other end of this ethernet cable.

3. Connect to your PC/internet enabled device through its internet port.
