4.2 Interface Setup

Click this item to access the following sub-items that configure the ADSL2+ router:

Internet,

LAN, and Wireless

These functions are described in the following sections.

4.2.1 Internet

ATM VC

25

ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides VPI, VCI settings to you. In

this Device, you can totally setup 8 VCs on different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different

virtual circuits from your ISP. You need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs

management, you can use ATM QoS to setup each PVC traffic line's priority.

Virtual Circuit:

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a

virtual circuit.

VPI

:

The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you. This field may

already be configured.

VCI:

The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535. Enter the VCI assigned to you. This field

may already be configured.

ATM QoS:

Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit. The ATM QoS types

include CBR (Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate).

These QoS types are all controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR, SCR

and MBS.

Select

CBR

to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or data traffic. Select

UBR

for

applications that are non-time sensitive, such as e-mail. Select

VBR

for burst traffic and

bandwidth sharing with other applications.

PCR:

Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell

Rate (PCR). This is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells.

SCR:

The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be

transmitted.

MBS:

Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent

at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535

Encapsulation:

ISP:

Select the encapsulation type your ISP uses from the

Encapsulation

list.

Choices vary depending on what you select in the

Mode

field.

Dynamic IP:

Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address automatically. This

option is typically used for Cable services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information

accordingly.

Static IP

:

Select this option to set static IP information. You will need to enter in the

Connection type, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, provided to you by your

ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP

octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this

format.

PPPoE/PPPoA:

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE connection. This

option is typically used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address

automatically for your PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for

26

your PPPoE connection. Please enter the information accordingly.

Bridge Mode:

The modem can be configured to act as a bridging device between your LAN

and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable two or more networks to communicate as if

they are two segments of the same physical LAN. Please set the Connection type.

PPPoE/PPPoA

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE connection. This option is typically

used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for

your PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE

connection. Please enter the information accordingly.

User Name:

Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned.

Password:

Enter the password associated with the user name above.

Encapsulation:

select Bridge in the Mode field, select either PPPoA or RFC 1483.

select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET ENCAP or PPPoE.

Multiplex: Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP. Choices are VC or LLC.

Connection:

The schedule rule(s) have priority over your Connection settings.

Always on

: Select Always on Connection when you want your connection up all the time.

Connect on Demand:

Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up

all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field

Get IP Address:

Choose Static or Dynamic

Static IP Address:

Enter the IP address of ADSL Router in dotted decimal notation, for

example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default).

IP Subnet Mask:

The default is 255.0.0.0. User can change it to other such as

255.255.255.0.Type the subnet mask assigned to you by your ISP (if given).

Gateway:

You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when you use

1483 Bridged IP

in the

Encapsulation

field in the previous screen.

NAT:

Select this option to Activate/Deactivated the NAT (Network Address Translation)

function for this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis

Default Route:

if enable this function, the current PVC will be the default gateway to

internet from this device

Dynamic Route:

RIP Version:

(Routing Information protocol) Select this option to specify the RIP version,

including RIP-1, RIP-2M and RIP-2B. RIP-2M and RIP-2B are both sent in RIP-2 format; the

difference is that RIP-2M using Multicast and RIP-2 using Broadcast format

RIP Direction:

Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP

function. Both means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and accept

routing information then incorporate into routing table. IN only means the ADLS router will

only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the ADLS router will only send but

27

will not accept RIP packet.

Multicast:

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to

establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The H6300

Series supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it

28

4.2.2 LAN

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers

are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a

building.

Router Local IP

IP Address:

Enter the IP address of ADSL Router in dotted decimal notation, for example,

192.168.1.254 (factory default).

IP Subnet Mask:

The default is 255.0.0.0. User can change it to other such as

255.255.255.0.Type the subnet mask assigned to you by your ISP (if given).

Dynamic Route:

Select the RIP version from RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-2M.

RIP Direction:

Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only.

Multicast:

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to

establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The H6300

Series supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it

IGMP Snoop:

Choose Disable or Enable IGMP function.

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual

clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server.
