Bridged Connection For Wan - D-Link DSL-G604T User Manual

Bridged Connection for WAN

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.
1. Click to select the Bridge Mode radio button in the WAN Settings options list. The menu will change
to offer a different set of configuration options.
2. Under the ATM VC Setting heading, do not change the PVC (Pvc0) index for the initial connection.
3. Also under the ATM VC Setting, you see two numbers, the VCI and VPI values. Do not change the
VPI or VCI value unless you have been told to do so. These numbers are used to define a unique path
for your connection. If you have been given specific settings for this to configure, type in the correct
values assigned by your ISP.
4. Set the Virtual Circuit setting to Enabled in the pull-down menu if it is not already enabled.
5. Under Bridge Mode, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. For bridge mode
connections the available encapsulation methods are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP
VC-Mux.
6. If you have not been instructed to change the ATM settings at the bottom of the menu, leave these at the
default settings. If you have been given new settings to configure, select the Service Category and type
in the values for PCR and SCR in Kbps.
7. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
8. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
Save & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Admin menu button. In
the Administrator Settings menu, click the Reboot button under Force the DSL-G604T to system
restart. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically
establish the WAN connection.
