1 Configuring DrayTek Equipment With A Sky Network. is required in order to This additional configuration is due to the fact that, at present, Sky tie in the MAC address of the Sky router to their server. The result of this is that removal of the Sky Router from the setup is potentially problematic. For example, forcing a Router to have a specific MAC address so that it will work with Sky. It is possible however to use the Sky Router as a Modem and then use the DrayTek equipment for routing and wireless functions. In order to do this, you will need to configure both the Sky Router an the DrayTek equipment. For the purposes of this application, the equipment being used will be a Sagem F@ST2304 Router (supplied by Sky) and the DrayTek 2850 MIMO (DrayTek v2850 ADSL/VDSL/3G MIMO Wireless-N Router). Sagem F@ST2304 Router (supplied by Sky) DrayTek 2850 MIMO (DrayTek v2850 ADSL/ VDSL/3G MIMO Wireless-N Router). 1

The result of this is that removal of the Sky Router from the setup is potentially problematic. For example, forcing a Router to have a specific MAC address so that it will work with Sky.

2 Configuring The Equipment In order to complete the configuration process, the following instructions will need to be carried out. First of all, make sure that the telephone line is connected into the Sagem Router (supplied by Sky). Connect a CAT cable from any of the LAN ports on the Sagem Router into LAN port 4 of the Please note that different router models may have a dedicated LAN port for this (see below). Model: 2850 Model:

First of all, make sure that the telephone line is connected into the Sagem Router (supplied by Sky).

3 Providing that the Sky Router was wired correctly and the connecting CAT cable is run, you should see that both units can now be accessed. In this case, the Sky Router is on and the Draytek Router is on however, at this stage, the Sky Router will block most incoming traffic to the DrayTek Router due to its firewall. As a result of this, you will not be able to log in remotely ie. Dynamic DNS. To overcome this we need to login to both the Sky and DrayTek Routers. Because both of the routers have been wired together with the CAT connecting cable, we can use one wired connection from the Draytek Router and log into both routers at the same time. In order to do this, please complete the following. Open a web browser and go to This will open the Draytek Router configurator. The default passwords for both Username and Password is admin. 3

As a result of this, you will not be able to log in remotely ie. Dynamic DNS. To overcome this we need to login to both the Sky and DrayTek Routers.

Once logged into the unit you should see a screen similar to this: As you can see WAN 2 (Test) is currently connected to the internet, WAN 1 is the VDSL/ADSL phone line and WAN 3 is the USB internet.

4 Once logged into the unit you should see a screen similar to this: As you can see WAN 2 (Test) is currently connected to the internet, WAN 1 is the VDSL/ADSL phone line and WAN 3 is the USB internet. Due to this type of setup, the router will not display a connection on the WAN 2. If you select WAN on the left hand side it will bring down a list of options Select Internet Access in this list and a new page will open up. 4

Due to this type of setup, the router will not display a connection on the WAN 2.

5 Once the new page has opened, select the Static or Dynamic IP on WAN2. Once selected the Details Page will become highlighted. Once selected you can then configure the WAN connection so that an internet connection from the Modem/ASDL Line can be established. Make sure to select the Radio button to enable this WAN connection and then select the Radio button to Obtain an IP address automatically. Press OK. You may also wish to add the Routers IP in the Router Name. 5

Once selected you can then configure the WAN connection so that an internet connection from the Modem/ASDL Line can

If you go back to the home page you will see that this router is now getting an internet connection. You will need to make a note of the MAC address that is displayed (example: -00:1D:AA:A6:47:9A).

6 If you go back to the home page you will see that this router is now getting an internet connection. You will need to make a note of the MAC address that is displayed (example: -00:1D:AA:A6:47:9A). You ll need this MAC address so that when you connect to the Sky router, you can assign it to a specific IP address in order to create a Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). This will allow the particular IP address to get information from the outside world without Sky interfering and blocking certain aspects. 6

You ll need this MAC address so that when you connect to the Sky router, you can assign it to a specific IP address in order

7 If we now open a new tab or a new web browser and go to the Sky Router, the default IP address is You will be able to see the other routers at a glance but if you decide to click on a tab, you will be asked for a User name and Password. By default, the User name is admin and the Password is Sky. Once logged into the router, you ll need to reserve the MAC address to an IP address, Sky calls this IP Filter. You will be able to find this under the Advanced tab and LAN IP SETUP (see top of page 8). Here you can click the ADD button to type in the information that is needed ie. IP address you wish to give the Draytek and then the MAC address which was taken from the Draytek. You can also name this device eg. Draytek so it can easily be seen whenever you log back into the Sky Router. Once complete, click on apply. 7

By default, the User name is admin and the Password is Sky. Once logged into the router, you ll need to reserve the MAC address to an IP address, Sky calls this IP Filter.

8 (continued from page 7). If you then reboot both the Sky and Draytek routers, you will notice that the Draytek IP has been changed to the address. This usually happens as a result of the PC/Laptop taking over before the Draytek gets a chance. 8

notice that the Draytek IP has been changed to the 192.168.0.

9 Once you have insured that the Draytek will only get one IP address you can then assign the DMZ to a specific IP address. This will be the same address that the Draytek has been given. Select the ADVANCED Tab and the first option should be WAN SETUP. Insert the IP address you have given the Draytek into these boxes and click apply. In order to log into this router via Dynamic DNS through it has to be dyndns as Sky doesn t allow any other service to be used, I have setup a username and account through the website. It offers a 14 day trial period which then costs $20 ( 12.50) for a year. Once DYNDNS has been setup go back into your SKY router to add the details. 9

Insert the IP address you have given the Draytek into these boxes and click apply. In order to log into this router via Dynamic DNS through www.dyndns.

Under the ADVANCED tab select DYNAMIC DNS to access the correct screen to input the information. Once all of this has been completed, the Sky router is now setup.

10 Under the ADVANCED tab select DYNAMIC DNS to access the correct screen to input the information. Once all of this has been completed, the Sky router is now setup. The last thing we need to do is open up the HTTPS port so that it isn t using the standard 443 port. On the Draytek select System Maintenance on the left hand side and then Management (continued on page 11). 10

The last thing we need to do is open up the HTTPS port so that it isn t using the standard

11 (continued from page 10). Here you will need to make sure that the Allow management from the Internet is checked/turned on. During this demonstration, all options other than access via HTTPS were then removed. On the right hand side you will see which ports are being used. Again, during this demo, the HTTPS Port was changed from the default of 443 to 5115 as it was free. Once this has been done you can exit out of the Draytek Router and work solely on the Sky. On the Sky Router you ll need to insert the information from the DynDns webpage, they ask you for your hostname, username and password. Once this information has been added into the Sky router, you can apply the changes and log out. 11

Again, during this demo, the HTTPS Port was changed from the default of 443 to 5115 as it was free.

12 (continued from page 11). Ideally you need to run this from a location that isn t on site. Open a webpage and type change the DynDns-hostname to your specific name you have chosen on the DynDns website. The 5115 is the port number you have chosen on your Draytek. Once this is done the webpage should load however, during this demo on a Windows 7, 64 bit machine, a Certification error message was presented (see below). Click continue to move on from here and get to the Drayteks login page. Please note: If you are going to be accessing this router remotely it advised that you change the Admin password for future use. 12

Once this is done the webpage should load however, during this demo on a Windows 7, 64 bit machine, a Certification error message was presented (see below).
