4.2.1 Configuring a Bridged Connection for the WAN

A bridged connection between your ISP and your LAN (the computers in your house or office) is the

simplest type of connection possible.

The ADSL2+ Router will simply convert the incoming and outgoing

packets to the correct format for each side of the connection (Ethernet for the LAN, ATM for the WAN).

For a bridged connection it will be necessary for most users to install additional software (supplied by

your ISP) on any computer that will use the ADSL2+ Router for Internet access. The additional software is

used for the purpose of identifying and verifying your account, and then granting Internet access to the

computer requesting the connection (that is, the software supplied by your ISP will handle giving your

Username and Password to the computer at your ISP that will then connect you to the Internet). The

connection software requires the user to enter the User Name and Password for the ISP account. This

information is stored on the computer on the LAN, not in the ADSL2+ Router for a bridged connection.

Follow the instructions below to configure a Bridged connection for the WAN interface.

Figure 4-4 WAN Settings Menu – Bridge Mode

Note:

Please note that the menu shown above will change depending on which WAN Type and Connection

Type you select.

To configure a Bridged mode connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need

to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table below

for a description of all the settings available in this menu.

1. Choose the

Bridge Mode

option from the

WAN Settings

pull-down menu.

2. Under the

ATM Interface

settings at the top of the menu (including

VPI

VCI

, and

Virtual Circuit

) should

not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change

the

VPI

VCI

values, type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the

ATM Interface

and

Virtual

Circuit

setting at the default (

Pcv0

and

Enabled

) values for now. This can be used later if you are

configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.

3. Under the

Bridge Mode

heading, choose the

Connection Type

from the pull-down menu. This defines

both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are

1483 Bridged IP LLC

and

1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.

If have not been provided specific information for the

Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

4. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the

Apply

button.

Note:

Some accounts use PPP connection software for their Internet service connection.

If you have been

given a CD with PPP connection software, install this now as instructed by your service provider. After the

ADSL2+ Router has rebooted it will negotiate the ADSL connection. Use the connection software to log on to

the ISP network and access the Internet.

4.2.2

Static IP Address for Connection WAN

When the Router is configured to use Static IP Address assignment for the WAN connection, you must

manually assign a global IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address used for the WAN connection.

Most users will also need to configure DNS server IP settings in the DNS Settings configuration menu (see

below). Follow the instruction below to configure the Router to use Static IP Address assignment for the WAN

connection.

To configure a Static IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not

need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table

below for a description of all the settings available in this menu.

Figure 4-5 WAN Settings Menu – Static IP Address

To configure a Static IP type connection for the WAN, follow these stpes:

1. Choose the

Static IP Address

option from the

WAN Settings

pull-down menu.

2. Under the

ATM Interface

settings at the top of the menu (including

VPI

VCI

, and

not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change

3. Under the

Static IP

heading, choose the

Connection Type

from the pull-down menu. This defines both the

connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are

Bridged

IP LLC

Bridged IP VC-MUX

Routed IP LLC

Routed IP VC-MUX

IPoA

If have not been provided

specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

4. Change the

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Gateway Address

and (if available)

Secondary DNS

Server IP

address as instructed by your ISP. These are the global IP settings for the WAN interface. This is the

“visible” IP address of your account. Your ISP should have provided these IP settings to you. For IPoA

(Classic IP over ATM) connections you may need to type in an additional IP address for a

ARP Server

Address

If you are using an IPoA connection, ask your ISP if it is necessary to use an ARP (Address

Resolution Protocol) server.

5. Leave the

MTU

value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change

this (see table below).

6. Most users will not need to change

ATM

settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL

connection it is recommended that you leave the

Service Category

settings at the default values until you

have established the connection. See the table on page

for a description of the

parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.

7. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the

Apply

button.

8. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To

Save & Reboot

the Router, click on the

Tools

directory tab and then click the

Save & Reboot

button. In the Save and Reboot menu, click the

Reboot

button under

Force the DSL-300T

to system

restart

. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically

establish the WAN connection.

connection from the Router to most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your ISP.

Primary

This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service (DNS) used to match the

named URL web address used by most browsers with the actual global IP address used for

a web server. Usually this will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP address from your

ISP.

4.2.3

Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN

A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to automatically obtain its global IP address from

a DHCP server on the ISP’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of

addresses available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will

likely be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address.

To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not

need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table

below for a description of all the settings available in this menu.

Figure 4-6 WAN Settings Menu – Dynamic IP Address

1. Under the

ATM Interface

settings at the top of the menu (including

VPI

VCI

, and

Virtual Circuit

)

should not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed

to change the

VPI

VCI

values, type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the

ATM

Interface

and

Virtual Circuit

setting at the default (

Pcv0

and

Enabled

) values for now. This can be

used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.

2. Under the

Dynamic IP

heading, choose the

Connection Type

from the pull-down menu. This defines

both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options

are

1483 Bridged IP LLC

and

1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.

If have not been provided specific information

for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access

their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being allowed

access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet

adapter, type in the MAC address in the

Cloned MAC Address

field and click the

Clone MAC

Address

button.

4. Leave the

MTU

value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to

change this (see table below).
