Select the connection type used for your account. The window will display settings that are appropriate
for the connection type you select. Follow the instruction below according to the type of connection you
select in the WAN Settings window.
For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install additional software on any computer
that will the Router for Internet access. The additional software is used for the purpose of identifying and
verifying your account, and then granting Internet access to the computer requesting the connection. The
connection software requires the user to enter the User Name and Password for the ISP account. This
information is stored on the computer, not in the Router.
Follow the instructions below to configure a Bridged connection for the WAN interface.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do
not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See
the table below for a description of all the settings available in this window.
1. Choose the Bridge Mode option from the WAN Settings pull-down menu.
2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have
been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values,
type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the
default (Pcv0 and Enabled) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple
virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on
page 46 below.
3. Under the Bridge Mode heading, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. This
defines both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If have not been
provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the
ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default
values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 44 for a description of
the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
5. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply
button.
6. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into
effect. To save and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System
button. In the System Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings
and Reboot the System.
7. Click OK when the following "Save and restart?" dialog box opens.
8. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically
establish the WAN connection.
