For use the router properly, it is necessary for you to change the password of web

configuration for security and adjust primary basic settings.

This chapter explains how to setup a password for an administrator and how to adjust basic

settings for accessing Internet successfully. Be aware that only the administrator can change

the router configuration.

2.1 Changing Password

password first.

1.

Make sure your computer connects to the router correctly.

Notice: You may either simply set up your computer to get IP dynamically

from the router or set up the IP address of the computer to be the same

subnet as

the default IP address of Vigor router 192.168.1.1

. For the

detailed information, please refer to the later section - Trouble Shooting of

each ATM cell that indicates where the cell should be routed. The

ATM, is a method of sending data in small packets of fixed sizes.

VCI

Stands for

Virtual Channel Identifier.

It is a 16-bit field inside

ATM cell’s header that indicates the cell’s next destination as it

travels through the network. A virtual channel is a logical

connection between two end devices on the network.

Protocol/Encapsulation

available modes for Internet access such as

PPPoE

,

PPPoA,

Bridged IP

Routed

IP

and

Bridged IP

2.2.2 PPPoE/PPPoA

PPPoE stands for

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet

. It relies on two widely accepted

standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the Internet with a

common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem. All

the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. And the PPPoA stands for

Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPPoA uses the PPP dial-up protocol with ATM as the

transport.

PPPoE or PPPoA is used for most of DSL modem users. All local users can share one

PPPoE or PPPoA connection for accessing the Internet. Your service provider will provide

you information about user name, password, and authentication mode.

If your ISP provides you the

PPPoE

or

PPPoA

connection, please select

PPPoE

or

PPPoA

for this router. The following page will be shown:

ISP Name

Assign a specific name for ISP requirement.
