Chapter 5 Quick Setup

The Quick Setup allows the user to configure the ADSL router for DSL connectivity

and Internet access. It also guides the user though the WAN network setup first and

then the LAN interface setup. You can either manually customize the router or follow

the online instruction to set up the router.

The CT-5611T ADSL router supports the following five network operating modes over

an ATM PVC WAN interface.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER)

IP over ATM (IPoA)

Bridging

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-5611T is to run the PPPoE client. The CT-5611T can support both cases

simultaneously.

If some or none of the LAN-side devices do not run PPPoE client, then select PPPoE.

If every LAN-side device is running a PPPoE client, then select Bridge In PPPoE mode,

CT-5611T also supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while

simultaneously running a PPPoE client fro non-PPPoE LAN devices.

NAPT 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, NAPT and firewall are

always disabled when Bridge mode is selected.

Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAPT and firewall are

enabled or disabled, the main panel will display or hide the NAPT/Firewall menu. For

instance, at initial setup, the default network operating mode is Bridge. The main

panel will not show the NAPT and Firewall menu.

Note: Up to eight PVC profiles can be configured and saved on the flash memory.

To activate a particular PVC profile, you need to navigate all the Quick Setup

pages until the last summary page, then click on the Finish button and reboot the

system.
