Bridged Connection for WAN

For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install additional software on any computer that will
connect to 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 menu.
1. Choose the RFC2684Bridged option from the click-boxes beside the WAN Type field.
2. Under the VPI/VCI at the top of the menu 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 Number setting at the default (Pcv0) values for now. This can be used
later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
3. Under the Connection Type field, you can choose from Pure Bridged, Static IP, or DHCP from the
click-boxes. This defines both the connection type used for your ADSL service. These instructions are for
the Pure Bridged option. The other options are discussed below. The menu will change entry fields to
allow the entry of the necessary information based upon your selection.
4. In the Encap. field, you can choose LLC or VcMux as the encapsulation type by clicking the click-box
beside the Encap. field − as instructed by your ISP.
5. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
