SAGEMCOM F@ST 5355 GATEWAY Disclaimer This is not an official document. I am not employed by Telstra nor am I an IT person. I wrote this document because setting up my gateway was a hassle due to the lack of a manual or any set up information on Testra’s Web Site.
Lights and Buttons: 1. Phone Off: Phone line not registered Green: Phone line registered. Blue: Phone in use. Red: Fault (Reboot gateway) 2. On Line Blue: Trying to connect to Telstra Gateway Green: Connected to Telstra Gateway. (See changing Telstra User Name and Password) 3.
Login Open a browser and type 10.0.0.13 8 into the address bar and press enter. The default password is admin Change Gateways Login Password Once logged in the first thing I do is change the password to something easy to remember.If the password is forgotten the modem will have to be reset resulting in the loss of all settings.
Telstra’s Internet User Name and Password If Link Light is green and the On Line light doesn’t turn green these are the first settings I would check. Click on Broadband The User Name is the one provided by Telstra for the internet connection. Example someone@bigpond.com.
Parental Control Click on Parental Control The internet and access control tab is where you can set the times a device can access the internet. In the Select drop down list every device ever connected to the gateway is listed by its MAC address. Note devices that can be connected by either Wi-Fi or Ethernet will have two different MAC addresses.
The URL filter tab is where access to malicious sites can be blocked for all devices. The example above blocks access to google. Click on the Add Address to add a site. Enter its URL If there are more sites to be blocked Click Add Address and enter its URL. Repeat for all the sites to be blocked.
Address Reservation. There are two ways to set up address reservation. The easy way is to click on the device on the home page and then click on Reserve Address. This doesn’t always work and when it doesn’t any further attempt to change address reservation results in an error message.

Click on Add Reserved Address. Click on Add MAC Address. The drop down list contains the MAC addresses of every device that was ever connected to the gateway. Select the device that needs a fixed address. If the device is currently connected the IPv4 Address will automatically be filled in. Suggest you change the address to something over 50 (10.0.0.51) to prevent reserved address being taken by another device.
Port Forwarding For port forwarding to work you need a fixed IP LAN address. (See Address Res e rvation for how to do this) There are two ways to set up Port Forwarding. I will describe the easy way. Click Home. On the centre left of the page are a list of connected devices.
