Bridge Mode - D-Link DSL-2640R User Manual

Section 3 – Configuration
Follow the instructions below to configure a Bridged connection for the Internet interface.
1. Choose the Bridge Mode option under ISP in the Encapsulation section.
2. The settings in the ATM VC section 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 Virtual Circuit and Status settings at the defaults (Pcv0 and
Activated) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple
virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
3. Most users will not need to change QoS settings. If this is the first time you are
setting up the ADSL connection, it is recommended that you leave the settings at
the default values until you have established the connection. Please see the
table on ATM QoS that directly follows the PPPoA/PPPoE section of this manual
for further information.
4. In the Bridge Mode section, choose the Encapsulation setting from the
pull-down menu. This defines the encapsulation method used for your ADSL
service. The available options are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP
VC-Mux. If you have not been provided specific information for this section,
leave the default setting.
5. When you are satisfied that all the Internet settings are configured correctly, click
on the SAVE button.
