Basic connectivity is shown in Figure 2. Devices in the local network are connected to one or more of the LAN ports on the rear of the AT&T AC8200; the broadband connection is usually established via the WAN 1 port. An optional dial connection is also possible via the supplied cable. -
Page 4: Option A. Wired Ethernet Connection
Connect the supplied phone cable between the port labeled Modem on the AT&T AC8200 and a standard analog phone outlet. The AT&T AC8200 needs basic set-up of the dial interface before it can connect to the Internet to retrieve its configuration. Dial set-up through the AT&T AC8200 web interface is covered later in this guide. -
Page 5: Option C. Cellular Connection
Step 2: Establish Local Network Connectivity In most cases, your devices will attach directly to the AT&T AC8200 via one of the 8 VLAN ports via a standard Ethernet cable. One black standard cable is provided. The Local LAN ports are all auto- sensing, so either a straight-through or a crossover cable can be used interchangeably. -

Page 7: Configuring A Static Ip Address
An “Always-On Internet Connection” means that the connection will normally always be available, and the AT&T AC8200 will try to re-establish connectivity if the connection is lost. The other type is for where an Internet connection is only established when required. -
Page 8: Configuring An Always-On 3G/4G Cellular Connection
Follow the instructions on the web pages. The AT&T AC8200 may initiate a dial connection as part of set-up in order to determine the best local number to dial. -
Page 9: 3G/4G Cellular Service Verification
After completing set up of either mode of 3G/4G connection, it is important to determine that there is adequate signal strength before deciding on a final installed position. Cellular coverage can vary, even over a short distance and a bad placement of the AT&T AC8200 can result in substandard or even non- existent cellular service. -
Page 10: Administrator Access
Administrator Access If there is more than one user of your AT&T AC8200, one or more users may be designated as administrators by your IS Department. If your AT&T AC8200 was set up for administrator access, Figure 6 is displayed and you must select your authentication level. You must be a designated administrator to configure or control the AT&T AC8200. - Page 11 If user input is required in order to establish the primary VPN connection, provide the requested information and click Connect. The AT&T AC8200 authenticates your credentials and establishes a secure VPN connection to your network. A status screen will be shown similar to Figure 6 until the VPN connection is terminated.

Page 13: Lan Port Configuration
VLAN support allows segmentation of the 8 Local LAN ports into different logical LANs, each with its own address range, and addressing method (DHCP, DHCP Relay, or static). If your AT&T AC8200 has been configured for VLANs, as part of installation you will need to know which of the 8 Local LAN Ports attach to each network. - Page 14 Ethernet ports are assigned to each VLAN. The numbers in the Port column correspond to the numbers printed on the back of the AT&T AC8200. Attach your Local LAN cables to an appropriate port based on designated VLAN. If more than one port has been allocated to a VLAN, any of those ports can be used.

Port Information display as shown in Figure 12 below. In this case, Local LAN equipment can be plugged into any available port on the back of the AT&T AC8200. If you see this page and you think that VLANs SHOULD have been configured, please contact your IS department. - Page 16 Figure 12: Local LAN Settings - Ports Version 5.4 © 2012 AT&T Inc.
