4.2 Quick Start

For detailed instructions on configuring WAN settings, see the

WAN

section of this manual.

The information you need for the Quick Start wizard to get you online are your login (often in

the form of

username@ispname

), your password, and the encapsulation type.

Your ISP can supply all the details you need. Alternatively, if you have deleted the current

WAN Connection in the

WAN – ISP

section of the interface, you can use the router’s PVC

Scan feature to determine the Encapsulation types offered by your ISP.

These functions are described in the following sections.

The Subnet mask of the Secondary IP Address depends on the setting

of the Primary IP Address.

4.3.1 LAN (Local Area Network)

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.

There are four items within the LAN section:

Ethernet, Wireless, Wireless Security

and

DHCP Server

.

4.3.1.1 Ethernet

The router supports two Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN, and two different LAN subnets

through which you can access the Internet at the same time. Users usually only have one

subnet in their LAN, so there is no need to configure a Secondary IP address. The default IP

address for the router is 192.168.0.254.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, RIP v1+v2 and RIP v2 Multicast.
