RFC 1483 Bridged Ethernet Connections
To configure the Router for RFC 1483 connections it is necessary to provide a
static global IP address and subnet mask for the WAN interface. In addition, you
may need to define the DNS settings as well. Ask your network service provider
about DNS configuration settings. You can enter the DNS settings in the DHCP
Configuration menu. DHCP Configuration is discussed in Chapter 5,
Web-based
Management
.
After you have changed the Connection Type to RFC 1483, click on the Static IP
Address Configuration button to bring up the window below:
Static IP Address Configuration Window
In the Static IP Address Configuration window you will need to enter the global
IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
used to identify the Router on the Internet. Some
static IP address connections will also require use of a default gateway. If you are
given a
Default Gateway
IP address by the network service provider enter that
here as well.
In the
PVC
field, enter the
VPI
and
VCI
values used for the ADSL connection.
Check all of the entries in this window to be certain that they are correct and
click the
OK
button. Once all the values have been set you must save the changes
and restart the Router.
After the Router has been configured and restarted you can access the Internet
by simply launching the web browser of the manager PC. When your LAN is set
up, any workstation properly connected to the Router will have Internet access
using a web browser.
