Ovislink OV501GF Config from File

2024-05-11T18:49:35Z

GC884:

<div class="ncfrightbox w-25"> {{Template:Ovislink OV501GF}} </div>
Your Ovislink modem can be configured for Routed or Bridged Operation by a custom configuration file. The custom configuration will include parameters specific to your NCF account.

1. Request a custom configuration file from [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] and save it at a location you will remember.

== Log into Modem Web Interface ==
'''Note''': You might need to set a static IPv4 address manually on your computer with the gateway IP set to [https://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1] to log in to the modem.

2. Enter [https://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1] info the address bar at in your web browser. Login with username: '''admin''' and password: '''admin''' (if your modem has been properly reset. If not try your '''NCF DSL password''').
[[File:OV501FGLogin.png|none|thumb|918x918px|OV501GF. Login Page]]
3. Go to the '''Management''' Menu link, and then click on the '''Settings''' sub-menu link and then on the '''Update'''.

Click on the '''Browse''' button (in the Update Broadband Router Settings section) and navigate to the custom configuration file you saved.

* Click on '''Update Settings.'''

[[File:OV501FGConfigFile.png|none|thumb|913x913px|Ovislink OV501GF Update Settings]]
4. Once the file upload begins, it can take 2 to 5 minutes to be completed and for your modem to be fully connected online. Resist the urge to make changes to the modem's configuration during this time.

Ovislink OV501GF

2024-05-11T18:48:13Z

GC884:

<div class="ncfrightbox w-25"> {{Template:Ovislink OV501GF}} </div>
== Preparation ==
The Ovislink OV501GF modem router supports both ADSL and VDSL, and switches automatically to match the line it is connected to.

Before you start configuring the modem:

* '''Factory Settings:''' '''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' These instructions are for configuring the modem from elsewhere or after it is been reset to factory settings. If the modem is not new, we recommend resetting it by '''holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about 10 seconds'''.

== Configuration ==
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.

== Methods ==
To connect with the internet over DSL, your home network needs to provide "credentials" which are just a user-name and [[password]] to authenticate as a legitimate user of NCF service. Usually that is the job of your modem, but there are exceptions.

When you use a single port router, you will need to chose between a '''routed''' or a '''bridge''' mode. Your choice is pretty simple and is based on how you are going to use the Internet in your home.

== Modes of Operation ==

# Routed. The modem routes data between your computer and the Internet. The modem provides your credentials to the Internet service.
# Bridge. The modem bridges your separate router to the internet. The router is required to make the PPPoE connection, and it handles the various addressing needs of your devices.

== Your Router Needs Your Credentials ==
Your credentials are used for a connection called a PPPoE connection. (That stands for Point-to-Point over Ethernet - a technical term for the connection with our servers.) You need to verify that you are allowed to connect, and your NCF credentials will let you do that.

Your goal with a router is to simply set up the '''PPPoE configuration''' with your username and password.

Your username will be something in the form of '''ab123@ncf.ca''' (with your own ID of course), and your password is your personal password. (That's usually 12 characters, something like ncfabc123def ).

With that set, your modem provides the router an Internet interface, and your router can handle all your local home networking needs.

Changing WiFi Name or Password on Ovislink modems

2024-05-11T18:45:05Z

GC884:

<div class="ncfrightbox w-25"> {{Template:Ovislink OV804WVA}} </div>
1. Using an Ethernet cable plug into one of the yellow '''LAN''' Ports at the back of the OvisLink modem or connect to your wireless network '''NCF_XXXX'''.

2. Open an Internet browser on your computer and connect to the modem by typing [https://192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1] in the address bar.

3. Log in to the Administrative Account:

* Username: '''admin'''
* Password: Your modem password (Default is '''admin''')

[[File:Login Page OvisLink.png|none|thumb|849x849px|Ovislink modem Login Page]]
'''Changing your WiFi name:'''

4. From the '''Device Info''' page, navigate to '''Wireless''' menu option on the left.

5. Click on either the '''5 GHz Band''' or '''2.4 GHz Band''' submenus

6. On the '''Wireless-- Basic''' settings page for either the 2.5 or 5 GHz band, change the SSID to the WiFi name to the name of your choice

7. Click '''Apply/Save''' at the bottom of the page.

* If you are connected to your modem over WiFi, you may be disconnected at this time. You will need to connect to the new WiFi name with the same WiFi password as before.
[[File:Ovislink OV804 WiFi-Name.png|none|thumb|847x847px|Ovislink OV804 WiFi_Name]]
'''Changing your WiFi password:'''

8. From the '''Device Info''' page, navigate to '''Wireless''' menu option on the left.

9. Click on either the '''5 GHz Band''' or '''2.4 GHz Band''' submenus

10. Click on '''Security'''

11. On the '''Wireless-- Security''' settings page for either the 2.5 or 5 GHz band, change the '''WPA passphrase''' to the password of your choice

* You can check that the password is correct by clicking the '''Click here to display''' button which generates a pop up.

12. Click '''Apply/Save''' at the bottom of the page.

* If you are connected to your modem over WiFi, you may be disconnected at this time. You will need to re-connect to your WiFi with the new password.
[[File:Ovislink OV804 WiFi Password.png|none|thumb|846x846px|Ovislink OV804 WiFi_Password]]
'''Notes:'''

You will need to change the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz bands independently. If the bands have the same name and password, your device will select the best band at that time. If you are having WiFi interference issues, it may be better to have different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to test them independently.

Ovislink OV935WVA Bridge Configuration

2024-05-11T18:41:33Z

GC884:

<div class="ncfrightbox w-25"> {{Template:Ovislink OV935WVA}} </div>
'''NCF Support''' is available to make configuring your Ovislink modem easier and to help you avoid potential mistakes. Here are simpler configuration options for your Ovislink modem:

1. You can request a custom configuration file for your NCF DSL connection from [https://support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca].

* You may need an alternate means of accessing the internet to download the configuration file.

2. Call [Tel:613-721-1773 613-721-1773] x0 to book a Modem Appointment.

If you prefer using your own external router to the one built into your Ovislink unit, we recommend routed operation with a separate Wi-Fi Router. However if you have networking expertise and are confident using the modem in bridge mode then take note of the following before configuring your Ovislink for Bridged operation:

1. Once you complete configuring your Ovislink modem for Bridged operation and disconnect from the modem, the Modem's Web Interface will become inaccessible with Auto DHCP settings on your computer. We recommend:

* '''Backup Settings:''' It is particularly important to backup the '''Running Settings''' on your modem before and after you configure it.
* '''Manual IP''': Setting a static IPv4 address on your computer, with the gateway IP set to [https://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1] to regain access to the modem.
* '''Reset the modem:''' If you need to reset the modem, insert a paper-clip in the '''Reset''' hole on the back. Hold for 10 seconds to reset.

2. If you set up the modem for Bridge operation, then your router will need to be configured in PPPoE mode with your DSL username and password.

# '''Ethernet Connection:''' Consult the [http://www.ovislink.ca/Products%20imgs/ovislink/ov935wva/OV935WVADataSheet.pdf About your Ovislink OV935WVA modem instruction sheet] to learn how to connect the modem''. We recommend configuring the modem using a computer connected by an ethernet cable, as opposed to over a wireless connection.''

== Configuration ==
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.

== Methods ==
If you have access to email, we can send you a file to automatically configure the modem with your NCF account and our recommended settings, which is much easier than going through all the steps manually. You can request a config file from [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] then follow our [[Ovislink OV935WVA Config from File|instructions to configure your modem with a config file]].

Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below to configure the modem [[Ovislink OV935WVA Routed Configuration|without a config file]].

== Modes of Operation ==

# Routed - Functions as both a modem and WiFi router, which is recommended for most members. Another router can be added to extend the network, but each network must use a different subnet.
# Bridge - '''(Advanced)''' Functions only as a modem, so another device is required to make the PPPoE connection. Recommended for advanced members using a separate router.

Ovislink OV804WVA Bridge Configuration

2024-05-11T18:30:45Z

GC884:

<div class="ncfrightbox w-25"> {{Template:Ovislink OV804WVA}} </div>
'''NCF Support''' is available to make configuring your Ovislink modem easier and to help you avoid potential mistakes. Here are simpler configuration options for your Ovislink modem:

1.You can request a custom configuration file for your NCF DSL connection from [http://support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca].

* You may need an alternate means of accessing the internet to download the configuration file.

2. Call [Tel:613-721-1773 613-721-1773] x0 to book a Modem Appointment.

If you prefer using your own external router to the one built into your Ovislink unit, we recommend routed operation with a separate Wi-Fi Router. However if you have networking expertise and are confident using the modem in bridge mode then take note of the following before configuring your Ovislink for Bridged operation:

1. Once you complete configuring your Ovislink modem for Bridged operation and disconnect from the modem, the Modem's Web Interface will become inaccessible with Auto DHCP settings on your computer. We recommend:

* '''Backup Settings:''' It is particularly important to backup the '''Running Settings''' on your modem before and after you configure it.
* '''Manual IP''': Setting a static IPv4 address on your computer, with the gateway IP set to http://192.168.1.1 to regain access to the modem.
* '''Reset the modem:''' If you need to reset the modem, insert a paper-clip in the '''Reset''' hole on the back. Hold for 10 seconds to reset.

2. If you set up the modem for Bridge operation, then your router will need to be configured in PPPoE mode with your DSL username and password.

Ovislink OV935WVA

2024-04-25T13:21:03Z

GC884:

== Preparation ==
The Ovislink OV935WVA modem router supports both ADSL and VDSL, and switches automatically to match the line it is connected to.

As Ovislink modems use the same admin interface as SmartRG modems, our guides for changing settings on [[SmartRG SR506n|SmartRG]] modems can also be used.

Before you start configuring the modem:

# '''Factory Settings:''' '''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' These instructions are for configuring the modem from elsewhere or after it is been reset to factory settings. If the modem is not new, we recommend resetting it by '''holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about 10 seconds'''.
# '''Ethernet Connection:''' Consult the [http://www.ovislink.ca/Products%20imgs/ovislink/ov935wva/OV935WVADataSheet.pdf About your Ovislink OV935WVA modem instruction sheet] to learn how to connect the modem''. We recommend configuring the modem using a computer connected by an ethernet cable, as opposed to over a wireless connection.''

== Configuration ==
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.

== Methods ==
If you have access to email, we can send you a file to automatically configure the modem with your NCF account and our recommended settings, which is much easier than going through all the steps manually. You can request a config file from [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] then follow our [[Ovislink OV935WVA Config from File|instructions to configure your modem with a config file]].

Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below to configure the modem [[Ovislink OV935WVA Routed Configuration|without a config file]].

== Modes of Operation ==

# Routed - Functions as both a modem and WiFi router, which is recommended for most members. Another router can be added to extend the network, but each network must use a different subnet.
# Bridge - '''(Advanced)''' Functions only as a modem, so another device is required to make the PPPoE connection. Recommended for advanced members using a separate router.

Ovislink OV501GF

GC884:

== Preparation ==
The Ovislink OV501GF modem router supports both ADSL and VDSL, and switches automatically to match the line it is connected to.

Before you start configuring the modem:

* '''Factory Settings:''' '''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' These instructions are for configuring the modem from elsewhere or after it is been reset to factory settings. If the modem is not new, we recommend resetting it by '''holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about 10 seconds'''.

== Configuration ==
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [Mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.

== Methods ==
To connect with the internet over DSL, your home network needs to provide "credentials" which are just a user-name and [[password]] to authenticate as a legitimate user of NCF service. Usually that is the job of your modem, but there are exceptions.

When you use a single port router, you will need to chose between a '''routed''' or a '''bridge''' mode. Your choice is pretty simple and is based on how you are going to use the Internet in your home.

== Modes of Operation ==

# Routed. The modem routes data between your computer and the Internet. The modem provides your credentials to the Internet service.
# Bridge. The modem bridges your separate router to the internet. The router is required to make the PPPoE connection, and it handles the various addressing needs of your devices.

== Your Router Needs Your Credentials ==
Your credentials are used for a connection called a PPPoE connection. (That stands for Point-to-Point over Ethernet - a technical term for the connection with our servers.) You need to verify that you are allowed to connect, and your NCF credentials will let you do that.

Your goal with a router is to simply set up the '''PPPoE configuration''' with your username and password.

Your username will be something in the form of '''ab123@ncf.ca''' (with your own ID of course), and your password is your personal password. (That's usually 12 characters, something like ncfabc123def ).

With that set, your modem provides the router an Internet interface, and your router can handle all your local home networking needs.

'''Port forwarding''' allows you to sign into a local computer network from outside, via the internet and carry out tasks on the network, such as editing documents, changing configurations or printing.

To accomplish this your modem has to be manually configured to allow port forwarding.

=Caution=
Port forwarding has distinct security implications and should not be undertaken unless you understand that you are opening your local area network to the open internet.

You need to either control access or understand what you have opened access to.

= Port forwarding on OvisLink Modems =
Setting up port forwarding on a OvisLink OV804WVA

1. Sign into your modem by logging in to the IP https://192.168.1.1 and enter your modem's login (usually admin for username and your DSL password for the password).

== Assigned Static IPs to Devices on your Local Area Network ==
To open up ports for a particular service you're using, we first have to specify which devices on your local network should be accessible over those ports.

2. Click on the '''Device Info''' Menu Link and go to → the submenu '''DHCP'''

Copy the '''MAC Address''' for the device(s) you want to open up ports for and paste it in a text editor.
[[File:Ovislink DHCP List.png|none|thumb|851x851px|OvisLink OV804WVA DHCP list from Device Info Page ]]

3. Click on '''Advanced Setup''' → then '''LAN''' Submenu →

Locate the DHCP Server Range from as indicated in the diagram below (usually 192.168.1.2 to 254) and click on '''Add Entries''' under the '''Static IP Lease List''' table.
[[File:Accessing the list of IP addresses available for the DHCP server Ovislink.png|none|thumb|853x853px|Accessing the list of IP addresses available for the DHCP server ]]
4. On the '''DHCP Static IP Lease''' page, Paste the MAC address for the devices you choose is Step 2 and assign a Static IP from the range note in Step 3.

6. Select '''Custom Service'''. Set a descriptive service name (one that reminds you of what service is using the ports and what device on your local network it's being open for).

Enter the Static IP address assigned in Step 4.

Enter the Port Needs in the '''External Port Start and End''' fields on the table and specify the Protocol type.

A single port must be repeated in the '''Start''' and '''End''' columns as shown below.

Hit '''Apply/Save''' to commit your changes.
[[File:NAT OvisLink OV804.png|none|thumb|875x875px|NAT Ovislink OV804]]

== Power cycle ==
It is recommended that you power your modem off, waiting about 5 seconds and power it back on after making these changes.

'''Notes:'''

*The modem should retain these port forward settings when powered off or when rebooted.
*Rules can be manually edited later to amend them.
*A "factory reset" of the modem to default settings (by putting a pin in the hole on the back of the modem for 20 seconds) will eliminate all port forwards set up.

7. Click '''Apply/Save''' at the bottom of the page.

'''Notes:'''
* Wireless channels shouldn't have to be changed often (more than once every 6-12 months). If you find yourself making these changes too frequently, you may have to invest in a mid to high end router with additional channels on the 5Ghz frequency. Contact [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] for recommendations if needed.

'''NCF Support''' is available to make configuring your Ovislink modem easier and to help you avoid potential mistakes. Here are simpler configuration options for your Ovislink modem:

1.You can request a custom configuration file for your NCF DSL connection from [http://support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca].

* You may need an alternate means of accessing the internet to download the configuration file.

2. Call [Tel:613-721-1773 613-721-1773] x0 to book a Modem Appointment.

If you prefer using your own external router to the one built into your Ovislink unit, we recommend routed operation with a separate Wi-Fi Router. However if you have networking expertise and are confident using the modem in bridge mode then take note of the following before configuring your Ovislink for Bridged operation:

1. Once you complete configuring your Ovislink modem for Bridged operation and disconnect from the modem, the Modem's Web Interface will become inaccessible with Auto DHCP settings on your computer. We recommend:

* '''Backup Settings:''' It is particularly important to backup the '''Running Settings''' on your modem before and after you configure it.
* '''Manual IP''': Setting a static IPv4 address on your computer, with the gateway IP set to http://192.168.1.1 to regain access to the modem.
* '''Reset the modem:''' If you need to reset the modem, insert a paper-clip in the '''Reset''' hole on the back. Hold for 10 seconds to reset.

2. If you set up the modem for Bridge operation, then your router will need to be configured in PPPoE mode with your DSL username and password.
