PVC: Leave this set at the default value 1 the first time the Router is set up. The modem has been pre-
configured for 8 PVCs. The PVC for you should be enabled when you have made your first
connection to the Internet. The configured settings for this can be viewed under the Status tab, under
Device Info.
VPI: If instructed to change this, type in the VPI value for the initial connection.
VCI: If instructed to change this, type in the VCI value for the initial connection.
Virtual Circuit: This enables the PVC connection on your modem. Select Enable from the pull down
menu to enable the selected PVC.
WAN Settings
The WAN Settings section of this window will allows users to select the type of connection to be used
by the router to establish a connection between you and your ISP. Choosing a WAN type will change
the window and new settings will appear for the user to configure. The proper selection should be
given to you by your ISP.
Dynamic IP Address
Selecting this option in the WAN Settings will change your screen to look like the one seen below.
Users choosing this option should have software located on their computer or other networking device
to establish a connection between you and your ISP. The Connection Type is chosen by using the pull-
down menu. The two choices available to the user here are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged
IP Vc-Mux, and this correct choice should also be provided to you by your ISP. The Cloned MAC
Address field is used to copy the MAC Address of your Ethernet Adapter to the router. Simply enter
the MAC Address into the space provided and click the Clone Mac Address button. The Maximum
Transmission Unit (MTU) is a link layer restriction on the maximum number of bytes of data in a
single transmission. The default size is 1400 bytes per packet. NAT improves network security in
effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping
can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection. To enable NAT on the
Router, use the pull-down menu and select Enabled. The Firewall allows the Router to enforce
policies to protect against certain kinds of attacks. To enable the firewall on the Router, use the pull-
down menu and select Enabled.
