C54APRA2+ / C54APRB2+ Wireless ADSL Router User Guide

For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install additional software on any computer that will the

Router for Internet access. The additional software is used for the purpose of identifying and verifying your account,

and then granting Internet access to the computer requesting the connection. The connection software requires the user

to enter the User Name and Password for the ISP account. This information is stored on the computer, not in the Router.

Follow the instructions below to configure a Bridged connection for the WAN interface.

To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be

changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table below for a description

of all the settings available in this window.

1. Choose the Bridge Mode option from the WAN Settings pull-down menu.

2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have been instructed

to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned

for your account. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0 and Enabled) values for

now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more

information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on page below.

3. Under the Bridge Mode heading, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. This defines both

the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are 1483

Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If have not been provided specific information for the

Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

4. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL

connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until you have

established the connection. See the table for a description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.

5. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.

6. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To save and

reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the System Settings

window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the System.

7. Click OK when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.

8. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish the

WAN connection.

Dynamic IP Address

A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to automatically obtain its global IP address from a DHCP

server on the ISP’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses available to the

service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will likely be the same address each time

the Router requests an IP address.

To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be

changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table below for a description

of all the settings available in this window.
