WAN Setup
Before the modem will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN
side of the modem must be configured. Depending upon your DSL service provider or your ISP, you
will need some (or all) of the following information before you can properly configure the WAN—
• Your DSL line VPI and VCI
• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your DSL training mode
For PPPoA or PPPoE users, you also need these values from your ISP—
• Your username and password
For RFC 1483 (Bridged or Routed IP Over ATM) users, you may need these values from your ISP—
• Your DSL fixed Internet IP address
• Your Subnet Mask
• Your Default modem
• Your primary DNS IP address
Since multiple users can use the modem, the modem can simultaneously support multiple
connection types. Hence, the user must set up different profiles for each connection. The modem
supports the following protocols:
• DHCP
• PPPoA
• PPPoE
• Static
• Bridge
• CLIP
New Connection
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your router can support up to 8 different virtual
connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to utilize the static
and dynamic routing capabilities of the router to pass data correctly.
To create a new connection:
1. From the Home page, click Setup and then click New Connection.
The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. In the Type dropdown select the protocol.
3. Define the protocol specific options as described in the following connection procedures.
