Connect / Disconnect Buttons
If you have enabled the Connect on Demand feature, the Router will begin to negotiate the WAN connection
upon restarting. If the Connect on Demand feature has been disabled, click the Connect button to initiate the
connection via the WAN interface. The process will take a few seconds. To end the WAN connection, click on
the Disconnect button.
Bridge Configuration
The DSL-1500 supports RFC 1483 sometimes called Bridged Ethernet. In bridge mode operation the device
does not have the same capabilities as it does when operating in router mode. Packet forwarding for a bridge is
limited to Layer 2, i.e. MAC address information only. A bridge operation may be appropriate when it is
necessary to bridge the WAN and LAN interface in order to support non-IP based protocols. Bridge mode may
also be best suited for LAN-to-LAN operations.
Bridge LLC mode − Multiple PVC menu
If you change the Multiple PVC page to Bridge LLC or VC mux, the user changeable parameters will change on
the Multiple PVC page to allow you to enter the information appropriate to the connection method.
