You can change the password as you like and then click

Select your time zone from the drop down list.

Please click

Select how the router will set up the Internet connection:

PPPoE/PPPoA:

to

obtain IP automatically (You need username and password).

Static IP address:

this configuration is valid in case of a subscription with a

static IP.

PPPoE/PPPoA

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is an ADSL connection known as

dial-up DSL. As

the PPPoA it has been created to integrate large band services paying a

particular attention to an easy configuration. The user can obtain an high access

speed and he can also share the same account with the ISP. No additional

software are required. This configuration is valid in case of a subscription with a

static IP and active NAT (SUA)

(for the managing of the public class turn to the

CD handbook). Let’s see how to configure correctly this kind of ADSL

configuration.

Insert

Username

and

Password

and make sure that the parameters are, in case

of

PPPoA

, the ones in the picture, if not specifically shown by the ISP.

In case of

PPPoE

choose

Connection Type=PPPoE LLC

.

Click on

You have to pay particular attention to the WAN-ADSL

connection. If you have any doubt

turn to qualified personnel or

contact

Atlantis-Land technical assistance. Atlantis Land will not

be considered

responsible in case of

wrong or bad

configuration.

STATIC IP ADDRESS

This configuration is valid in case of a subscription with a static IP and active NAT

SUA (for the managing of the public class turn to the CD Manual). Make sure that

the parameters are, in case of

RFC1483

, the ones in the picture, if not

specifically shown by the ISP.

Insert then the

public static IP address given by the ISP and choose

Connection

Type=1483 Routed IP LLC(IPoA)

. Make sure that the parameters are, the ones

in the picture, if not specifically shown by the ISP.

Wizard Setup Configuration: Connection Tests

Launch your web browser and navigate to www.atlantis-land.com Internet access

is just the beginning. Refer to the rest of this User’s Guide for more detailed

information on the complete range of ADSL Router features. If you cannot access

the Internet, open the web configurator again to confirm that the Internet settings

you configured in the Wizard Setup are correct.

The Webshare Router ADSL2+ automatically tests the connection to the

computer(s) connected to the LAN ports. To test the connection from the ADSL

Router to the ISP, click

Maintenance

then

Diagnose

CHAPTER 5: LAN Setup

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.

5.1 LAN Overview

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

computers are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate

area, usually the same building or floor of a building.

The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP

addresses.

5.1.1 LANs, WANs and the ADSL Router

The actual physical connection determines whether the ADSL Router ports are

LAN or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside, the LAN

network; the other outside: the WAN network as shown next:

5.2 DNS Server Address

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding

IP address and vice versa, for example, the IP address of www.atlantis-land.com

is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you

must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS

server addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client

machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.

There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first

is for an ISP to tell a customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of

an information sheet, when s/he signs up. If your ISP gives you the DNS server

addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup, otherwise, leave

them blank.

Some ISP’s choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of

PPP IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give

you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through

IPCP negotiation. The ADSL Router supports the IPCP DNS server extensions

through the DNS proxy feature.

If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup are not specified,

for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the ADSL Router tells the DHCP clients that it itself is

the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the ADSL Router, the

ADSL Router forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP

and relays the response back to the computer.

Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server

extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP

setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make

sure that you enter their IP addresses in the DHCP Setup menu. This way, the

ADSL Router can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can

query the DNS server directly without the ADSL Router’s intervention.

5.3 DNS Server Address Assignment

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP

address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without

it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.

There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.

1. The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an

information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server

addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup.

2. Leave the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The

ADSL Router acts as a DNS proxy when this field is blank.

5.4 LAN TCP/IP

The ADSL Router has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses

and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
