Step 2: Setting the ADSL Connection
Step 2 involves choosing the correct
connection type mode for your modem.
There are different methods or protocols
used to make this communication possible,
and both ends of the communication (you
and your ISP) must agree on what method
to use and how to set up the connection.
This is what you want to configure the
Router to do, to agree with the service
provider's equipment and negotiate the
terms of the connection using a language
or protocol that both sides understand. This
window offers six connection types for the
user to choose from. The choice will
depend on information provided to you by
your ISP. Options available on the DSL-
524T are Dynamic IP Address, Static IP
Address, PPPoE/PPPoA and Bridge
Mode. Simply click the corresponding radio
button and click Next to go on to the
configuration window for that choice.
Step 2.1: Bridge Mode
Bridge Mode is for users who have software
on their computer or other network device to
accept the connection from your ISP. You
may change the PVC (Permanent Virtual
Channel) settings, which are defined by two
numbers, the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) and
the VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator). These
two values should be provided to you by your
ISP. In most cases, the default settings are
correct and need not be altered. The second
setting is the Connection Type, selected 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. After setting the values
listed, click the Next button to go to Step 3 of
the Configuration Wizard.
