Chapter 4 Quick Setup
After login, the Quick Setup screen will appear as shown.
NOTE: The selections available on the main menu are based upon the configured
connection type and user account privileges.
The Quick Setup screen allows the user to configure the CT-5364A for ADSL
connectivity and Internet access. It also guides the user though the WAN network
setup first and then the LAN interface setup. You can either do this manually or
follow the auto quick setup (i.e. DSL Auto-connect) instructions.
This router supports the following data encapsulation methods.
• 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 in the Central Office 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 router is to run the PPPoE client. T he router can support
both cases simultaneously.
• If none of the LAN-side devices run PPPoE clients, then select PPPoE.
• NAT and firewall can be enabled or disabled by the user in router modes (PPPoE,
PPPoA, MER or IPoA) and they are always disabled with Bridge mode.
• Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAT and firewall are
enabled or disabled, the main menu will display or hide NAT and Firewall.
