iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

Field

Definition

Assign ISPDNS,

SNTP

Enables/disables the

Assign ISPDNS,

SNTP

feature. The default is set to

disabled.

Start IP

This address is the beginning of the range

from which the DHCP server starts issuing

IP addresses. You need to ensure the

iConnect625W

Management IP Address

and any statistically defined addresses

are not within the DHCP start and end

address ranges. The default

Start IP

address is

192.168.1.100.

End IP

This is where the DHCP server stops

issuing IP addresses. The ending address

cannot exceed a subnet limit of 253. This

means that the maximum value for the

default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the

DHCP server runs out of DHCP

addresses, users do not get access to

network resources. If this happens, you

can increase the

End IP

addresses (to the

limit of 254) or reduce the lease time.

Lease Time

The

Lease Time

is the amount of time that

a network user is allowed to maintain a

network connection to the router using the

dynamic IP address. The client will

automatically renew the address after this

time has elapsed or a new IP address is

issued. If the LAN computer does not

renew the address after the lease period,

the lease information will be removed from

the DHCP database. This database can

be viewed under

Tools>DHCP Clients

The lease time is in units of seconds.

The default value is set to

604800

seconds (or 7 days).

Highlighting this option configures the iConnect625W to

forward the DHCP request to a remote DHCP server. Enter

the remote DHCP server address in the

Relay IP

field.

Enable DHCP

Relay

Relay IP

The IP address of the DHCP relay server.

Server and Relay

Off

This will disable the iConnect625W's DHCP server and relay

functionality.

Setting Up a WAN Connection

A new WAN connection is a virtual connection over the physical DSL connection. Your

iConnect625W can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have

multiple different virtual connections, you may need to use the static and dynamic routing

capabilities of your iConnect625W to pass data correctly.

Before the router can pass any data between the LAN and WAN interfaces, the

WAN

Setup

must be configured and you must ensure that you have a DSL connection.

Depending on your ISP, you will need some or all of the information outlined below before

you can properly configure the

WAN Setup

The iConnect625W supports the following connection types:

PPPoE

PPPoA

Bridged

Static

DHCP

CLIP

Follow the steps to access the Setup page.

Step 1

To access the

WAN Setup

, click the

Setup tab

. The following page appears:

Step 2

Click on

New Connection

Modem

to setup your WAN configuration.

The following sections will provide steps on how to configure each connection type.

7.2.1

PPPoE Connection Setup

PPP, or Point-to-Point Protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session

between network hosts. It provides secure login, and traffic metering among other

advanced features.

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet

frames. It provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over a simple bridging

access device to a remote access concentrator.

It was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to Ethernet

connections such as DSL. PPPoE allows ADSL users to be authenticated by the ISP’s

systems. Most broadband connections are Ethernet, hence PPP over Ethernet. It also

allows for ISPs to provide multiple services over multiple PPP sessions, i.e., rated

services, broadband specific content (movies, etc.), metered services, etc.

To configure

PPPoE

connection, follow the steps provided below.

Step 1

To begin, click the

Setup tab

on the top menu. Click the

New Connection

link.

The default

PPPoE Connection Setup

page appears:

Step 2

MyConnection

is the default name displayed in the

Name

field. Enter a unique

name for your

PPPoE

connection. The name must not have spaces and cannot

begin with numbers.

Step 3

From the

Type

drop-down list,

PPPoE

is the default setting.

Step 4

The

NAT

and

Firewall

checkboxes are enabled by default under the

Options

field. Leave these in the default mode.

NAT enables the IP address on the LAN side to be translated to IP address on

the WAN side. If NAT is disabled, you cannot access the Internet.

Step 5:

If you want to enable VLAN, refer to the table at the end of this section as a

reference to configure the following fields:

Sharing

: Select

VLAN

to enable the

VLAN ID

and

Priority Bits

fields.

VLAN ID

: Enter the

VLAN ID

Priority Bits

: Select the

Priority Bits

of the VLAN.

Step 6

Enter your

Username

and

Password

in the respective fields under the

PPP

Settings

section as shown, as provided by your ISP.

Step 7

In the

PVC Settings

section, enter the values for the

VPI

and

VCI

if they differ

from the default values:

and

respectively, as provided by your ISP.

If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you will

need to open it and edit the settings. It is not possible to have more than one

connection using the same VPI/VCI values.

Step 8:

Select the

Quality of Service (QOS)

. Leave the default value as is if you are

unsure or if the ISP did not provide this information.

Step 9

Click the

Apply

button and the

Save / Restart Menu

link on the left menu. The

following screen appears:

Save All

button. The following screen appears. Click the

button

to save the settings.

Step 11: MyConnection

has been created for this connection in the left-hand menu.

You can connect, disconnect, apply, delete or cancel this connection using the

buttons at the bottom of the

MyConnection
