Bridge Mode

For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install

additional software on any computer that will use 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.

To configure a Bridge Mode WAN connection, follow these steps:

1. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu. This

defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method

used for your ADSL service. The available options are 1483

Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If you have not

been provided specific information for this setting, leave the

default setting.

2. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured

correctly, click the Save Settings button to save the changes.

3. Click the Connect button at the bottom of this window to connect

to your ISP.
