Chapter 4 Quick Setup

The function allows the user to configure the ADSL router for DSL connectivity and
Internet access. It guides the user though the WAN network setup first and then
the LAN interface setup. The user can either manually customize the router or
follow the auto quick setup procedure.
The following configuration considerations apply:
The WAN network operating mode operation depends on the service provider's
configuration on the Central Office side and Broadband Access Server for the
PVC
If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection
depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a PC) is running a PPPoE
client or whether the CT-5361T is to run the PPPoE client. The CT-5361T can
support both cases simultaneously.
If some or none of the LAN-side devices are not running a PPPoE client, then
select PPPoE. If all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, then select
Bridge In PPPoE mode, CT-5361T also supports pass-through PPPoE sessions
from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE
LAN devices.
NAT and firewall are always enabled when PPPoE mode is selected, but they can
be enabled or disabled by the user when MER or IPoA is selected, NAT and
firewall are always disabled when Bridge mode is selected.
Depending on the network-operating mode, and NAT and firewall status, the
main menu will display or hide the NAT/Firewall menu. For instance, if the
default network-operating mode is Bridge, the main menu will not show the NAT
and Firewall menu.
NOTE: Up to 16 PVC profiles can be configured and saved in the flash memory.
To activate a particular PVC profile, you must navigate through all the
setup screens until the last summary screen, and click Save/Reboot.
