In DSL-Bridge mode, the SmartClass Triple Play Services replaces the modem, hub, and test
interface. It does not use a DHCP server so it does not assign IP addresses to other equip-
ment. The end equipment uses either the service provider-supplied IP address or one that is
on the same network (same netmask). See Figure 10 on page 51.
To test in DSL Terminate Mode, use Bridge Mode as it allows VLAN tags to be assigned. To
use IPv6 (IPv6oE or IPv6 Multi VLAN), Bridge mode should be used.
3 Optional -Specify Ethernet Router. You do not need to perform this step if not to replace the
bridge running on Ethernet interface with a router.
You can select Ethernet Router and enable the router between the DSL interface and the
Ethernet interface. Note this is another router in addition to that in Figure 9 on page 50. Using
the Router Mode the SmartClass TPS will work as the router for the devices connected
through the Ethernet port. Not using the Router Mode it will work as a bridge.
