X7968 Basic Settings 1. Introduction The factory default configuration of the X7968 ADSL router should be suitable for most users, to connect to internet after following the instructions given in the “User guide” document. Nevertheless it could happen that the user requires special configuration of the router in order to allow specific applications to run properly (mainly online games and alike).
X7968 Basic Settings The left column shows a menu that gives access to the pages with the actual information shows and the settings to do. The right column shows some contextual information for the page shown. Under the “Configuration” menu it is shown most of the menu options for the complete router configuration. Telefonica’s ADSL services can be grouped into two main types depending on how the public IP is given to the service you have purchased: Most common service PPPoE (also called “dynamic IP”).
X7968 Basic Settings four numbers with dots (“.”) between them. In this case you will receive a letter 1 with your configuration parameters. Besides those two services depending on what you purchase, there is also two options to organize the internal domestic LAN: “Multiple stations”, this operation mode allows to connect many computers and share the external single internet connection.
X7968 Basic Settings 2. Dynamic IP, multiple stations. This is the factory default settings in your X7968 router, so there is no need for any special settings in order to get it (just reset to factory default settings). Anyway, in order to show an example on how to configure this mode by means of web GUI, continue the description process. Clear any existing WAN services and create a new one.
X7968 Basic Settings • Put name to the new PVC as your prefer (i.e. “ppp”) and write the proper values for VPI (8) and VCI (32) and click “Next”.
X7968 Basic Settings • Choose “Obtain an IP address automatically” • Choose “Enable NAT” • Choose “Add Default Route” • Click “Next” • Write “adslppp@telefonicanetpa” in “Broadband User Name” textbox. (1) • Write “adslppp” in the “Password” textbox. (1) • Write “adslppp” in the “Confirm Password” textbox.
X7968 Basic Settings There is no need to modify any of the of the parameters in this page. • Click “Next” A summary of the configuration about to be set will be shown.
X7968 Basic Settings Click “Apply” to save and apply the new settings. The management of the IP addresses for the internal computers can be done by the router using the built in DHCP server (this is default configuration) or, manually by the user. You can learn how to configure and disable the DHCP server in the appendix and in the User’s manual included in the CDROM.
X7968 Basic Settings 3. Static IP, multiple stations. Clear any existing WAN services and create a new one.
X7968 Basic Settings • Put a name to the new PVC as your prefer (i.e. “rfc”) and write the proper values for VPI (8) and VCI (32) and click “Next”.
X7968 Basic Settings • Choose “Use the following IP address”. • Write a number of the public IP address provided by Telefonica into each textbox of “WAN IP Address”. (1) • Write a number of the public IP address mask provided by Telefonica into each textbox of “WAN Subnet Mask”. (1) • Check “Enable NAT” checkbox • Click “Next” There is no need to modify any of the of the parameters in this page. • Click “Next” A summary of the configuration about to be set will be shown.
X7968 Basic Settings 3.1. Default configuration route. Finally configure a default route for the router.
X7968 Basic Settings • Fill in the textboxes: o IP Address: 0.0.0.0 o Netmask: 0.0.0.0 • • Choose “Interface” and select the interface name defined previously (i.e. “rfc” ) Click “Apply” and verify that the default route just configured is shown there. The management of the IP addresses for the internal computers can be done by the router using the built in DHCP server (this is default configuration) or, manually by the user.
X7968 Basic Settings 4. Static IP, single station. Clear any existing Wan services and create a new one.
X7968 Basic Settings • Put a name to the new PVC as you prefer (i.e. “rfc”) and write the proper values for VPI (8) and VCI (32) and click “Next”.
X7968 Basic Settings • Choose “Use the following IP address”. • Write a number of the “management” IP address provided by Telefónica into each textbox of “WAN IP Address”. (1) • Write a number of the “management” IP address mask provided by Telefónica into each textbox of “WAN Subnet Mask”.
X7968 Basic Settings • Click “Apply”. Once you click there will be no response from the router web GUI because the IP address of the router has changed. Nevertheless, the new configuration is already saved in the router. • Now, you must configure TCP/IP settings on your PC. The IP address and mask should be the “public” IP address and mask provided by Telefonica. For the gateway IP address you must use the IP address just given to the router (see previous page).
X7968 Basic Settings 5. Dynamic IP, single station. Clear any existing WAN services and create a new one.
X7968 Basic Settings • Put a name to the new PVC as you prefer (i.e. “rfc”) and write the proper values for VPI (8) and VCI (32) and click “Next”.
X7968 Basic Settings This page should be kept unmodified. Click “Next”.
X7968 Basic Settings There is no need to modify any of the of the parameters in this page.. • Click “Next” A summary of the configuration about to be set will be shown. • Click “Apply” and the configuration will be done. In this mode, the PC must get the public IP itself. In order to do that, a special software (PPPoE client) is required to establish Internet connection. If you are using Windows XP or Windows 2000 or Windows Vista you can use the PPPoE client built into the O.S.
X7968 Basic Settings 6. Appendix 6.1. DHCP server configuration. From home page: • Click on Configuration/DHCP server. • In order to enable or disable the service, check the apropiate radio button and “Apply” • Click on the link “Server Settings” to configure the server. This is not recommended unless you are an advanced user.
X7968 Basic Settings • Click on icon under Edit in order to modify the subnet of the server. Click on icon under “Edit Ip Ranges” to simply modify the range of IP addresses that the server will use to share with the clients. • You can read more on the User Manual in the CDROM under “Documentación del fabricante” folder.
X7968 Basic Settings 6.2. How to calculate the Gateway IP after “public” IP and mask provided by Telefonica. Each number in the IP (or mask) separated by “.” Should be written as an 8 digit binary number. The boolean operation “AND” must be done between IP address and mask in a one to one basis and the the rightmost number incremented in 1. Finally each number is again written in decimal code.
