Before You Start

Before installing it is a good idea to:

• Disconnect all other telephony devices, double adapters and extension leads to minimise any problems.

• Close all open programs and disable firewalls or antivirus software.

• If using a USB connection, disconnect other USB devices from the computer and ensure it is plugged directly into the PC and not a USB hub.

• Check Moby to see whether the customer’s account has been created and check the customer’s FNN in OATS to ensure the ADSL service has been enabled on their phone line.


Determine Modem Type

BigPond ADSL customers could have one of several different modems but they will most likely have the 2Wire 2071-A modem.

If they are a new Wired customer or a 2Wire 2701 HGV they wish to use a 4-port or Wi-Fi connection.

In early 2009, a new model of Thomson ST536 is available for new wired connections and a Thomson TG784 for Wi-Fi connections.

- Modems can be identified by the modem lights, or by the label usually located on the bottom of the modem.


Check Modem Light Status

As the customer may have already connected and powered

on the modem before calling for technical support, it is

important to determine the customer’s modem status

before attempting a manual install. The customer may

even be connected so check for connectivity.


The following table provides general troubleshooting checks:


Connect power and DSL cables

Ensure the customer is using the correct power adapter for the modem and the ADSL line has been enabled.


Ethernet or USB

• Find out what type of cable the customer is using to connect their modem to the PC.

• USB cables may cause problems as they can only be plugged in one way.

• Get the customer to check the symbols on the back of their PC and modem but a good guide is that the flattened end plugs into the PC and the square end plugs into the modem.


Ethernet or USB?


Wi-Fi

• Customers should always be advised to use the Installation CD to set up their Wi-Fi connection or create a wired connection first then configure the Wi-Fi connection. Customers should not be trying to configure their ADSL modem using an unsecured Wi-Fi connection.


Getting online

• The most commonly used modems supplied by BigPond are router modems.

• The easiest method to get the customer online once they have the modem cables connected is to open the modem’s webpage interface and configure the built-in login client with the customer’s username and password.

• The webpage interface for BigPond supplied devices is accessed by entering 10.0.0.138 in the Address are of the browser.


Test Connection

Once you have finished assisting the customer with installing the modem, test whether they have established a connection by trying to open a webpage. If required, also assist with configuring a supported email client.


Activity 1


Autosetup

1. ADSL self install kits have an installation CD which provide guided steps to instruct the customer to connect and configure the modem on a PC running Windows and, on later versions, Macintosh computers running OS X.

2. Self-install customers must attempt to run the CD at least once. Assure the customer that there are easy-to-follow instructions to help them to set up their ADSL connection. If they have tried to run Autosetup, then assist them with a manual install.


Autosetup

3. Autosetup will follow these basic steps for a wired ADSL connection but not necessarily in this order:

a. List the contents of the kit

b. Advice about security software (firewall or antivirus). Recent versions of the installation CD simply advise to ensure that the BigPond application is allowed when the security software prompts them

c. Agree to Terms and Conditions.

NOTE: The customer should have already read and agreed to these when signing up. On some CDs the T&Cs are supplied; newer versions will have a link to the T&Cs on the BigPond website.


Autosetup

d. Instructions on how to connect supplied

filter/splitters.

e. Select the device type

f. Select the connection type (Ethernet or USB for the wired modems)NOTE: Ethernet is recommended as it is more reliable but the USB driver may be installed anyway


Autosetup

g. Enter the BigPond email address and passwordNOTE: They should have received an email, letter or SMS with this information. If they don’t have it, it can be supplied to the verified account holder/authorised rep

h. Connect the power supply and turn on the modem.

i. Connect the Ethernet or USB cable

j. Connect the modem to the filter/splitter

k. Wait for the modem to be configured


Autosetup

l. Test the connection

m. If successful, Internet Explorer will launch to the BigPond website

n. If unsuccessful, the customer will receive some troubleshooting advice and instructed to re-try last step or start again. If it fails again, they will be advised to call tech support.

o. Enter an email display name and select their email program (Outlook Express, Outlook if installed)


Administrator Privileges

• The customer will be prompted if they do not have administrator privileges on the computer they are using. We do not support configuring PCs to provide admin rights. Refer the customer to the System Administrator or Windows Help files for assistance with admin rights.


Administrator Privileges

Windows Vista users may be prompted to enter an administrator password via the User Account Control (UAC) prompt


Self Install on Macintosh PCs

• Mac users with a Thomson or Siemens modem do not have an Autosetup. The 2Wire CD does have an Autosetup for Macs which follows similar steps to the Windows version. Customers with Mac related issues should be transferred to the internal Mac Support area.


Manual Install of the SpeedTouch 530 or 510 modem

• This method is recommended if installation via Autosetup from the ADSL CD fails. Sometimes the installation routine might show that it has encountered a problem but may have actually worked. Check OATS, modem lights and connectivity first.


Stage 1 – Connecting the modem to the PC

Before you start:

1. Ensure both the PC and SpeedTouch modem are turned on.

2. Check all cables are correctly connected to the modem and PC.

3. Disconnect the USB cable if a USB connection is required.

4. Open the Add/Remove Programs control panel and remove Alcatel SpeedTouch USB drivers if listed. Reboot the PC.

5. Insert the Telstra BigPond ADSL CD. If it auto starts, then cancel.

Activity

Log-in Client Software

Log-in Client Software

• If the customer does not have router modem or needs to use the modem in bridged mode, then they will need to install a log in client on their computer.

There are two main types:

1. Built-in

2. Third party.

Built-in log in software

• Supplied with the operating system. Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OSX all have built-in log in client software. Customers should always use these – installing third party log-in software on these operating systems is not supported.

Third party software

• Supplied with the device. BigPond made Enternet available for its bridged modems (SpeedTouch Home or SpeedTouch USB) for installing on Windows 2000

Enternet Connection Software

• Enternet is the software used to establish an ADSL connection for bridge modems connected to a computer running Windows 2000. ADSL Self Install Kit CDs include Enternet 300 (version 1.5).


When Enternet is installed, three events occur:

1. The PPPoE network adapter, a virtual network device that links to a real network device. This allows communication between the modem and the PC


2. The Enternet connection software is installed, which communicates with the PPPoE adaptor to make and maintain a connection.


3. A connection profile is created. This can be edited to add the customer’s username and password or deleted and a new profile created.

* It is unlikely that you will encounter customers running Enternet as they are more likely to be using router modems, or Windows XP or Vista.

Additional Information

• For support, rely on RightNow but basic support techniques include:

• Power cycle modem and restart PC

• Remove and re-create the connection profile

• Uninstall and re-install Enternet

Captive Portal

• If a customer fails to connect 6 successive times over any period of time then they will have their account locked and will be unable to connect for 5 minutes. They will get authentication errors and there will be a dormant-lockout message in OATS (I/Face status field).

• RightNow Answer Number: 7775

Captive Portal

• Sometimes they may be sent to an alternative login server (known as the Accept-All LNS). Typically this will happen if they are using the default username on the modem (e.g. username@bigpond or [email protected]). The accept-all server will process the customer's login request and assign the customer an IP address in the range 172.19.X.X. They will not be able to browse normally or receive email if they reach this alternative server.

How to detect

• To determine if the Captive Portal has captured a customer you can:

• Check the customer's IP address. Customers with an IP address in the range 172.19.X.X have been sent to the Captive Portal. When connecting via PPPoA you will need to get the IP address from within the modem as the IP address will be assigned to the modem and not the network interface card (NIC)

How to Detect

• When the customer tries to browse the Internet they will be automatically directed to a BigPond webpage . All other access, such as email, will fail.

How to Detect

• This BigPond webpage will advise the customer that either:

• There may be an issue with their username and password (Answer No: 7420)

• Their account may be inactive (suspended or closed) (Answer No: 6708)

• They may be already logged into the network from another connection (concurrent logins)

Troubleshooting

1. Check for an existing session via Moby

2. Open the modem interface.

3. Choose Disconnect if the modem has this option

4. Re-type username and password in modem interface

5. Reconnect.

6. Customers that have been captured due to more then 10 failed log-in attempts in a minute will not be able to log-in to the network for 5 minutes.

Troubleshooting

7. Customers that are authenticated to the Captive Portal will be automatically logged out after 15 minutes.

8. Check OATS for a dormant-lockout status. If so, advise customer that they will need to switch their modem off for at least 15 minutes after ensuring they have entered the correct login details on the modem.
