Specifying the modem operation
The test settings that you must specify will vary depending on the modem operation mode. You
should specify the modem operation mode first.
To specify the modem operation mode
1 For the BCM96368 modem: from the ADSL/VDSL menu, select Network.
For the BCM963168 modem: from the xDSLmenu, select Network.
2 Specify the Modem Operation (Router or Bridge).
The SmartClass Triple Play Services can test DSL services in two modes: DSL-Bridge and
DSL-Modem/Router. They include the same testing capabilities, but the difference is in the IP
addressing.
In DSL-Modem/Router mode, the SmartClass Triple Play Services replaces the modem,
router, and test interface. As the router, it stops the service provider’s IP on the network side
and assigns private IPs to equipment on the customer side, as shown in Figure 9 on page 50.
