• Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)

• Static IP (IPOA)

• Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)

Note:

See Appendix C in this User Manual for some common DSL

Internet setting parameters. If you are not sure, please contact your ISP.

Manually Configuring your Router

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)

is the standard

method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and

password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the

Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly

implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”.

Then enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply

Changes” to activate your settings.

1.

User Name -

Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP).

2.

Password -

Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).

3.

Retype Password -

Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP).

4.

VPI/VCI -

Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit

Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).

5.

Encapsulation -

Select your encapsulation type (supplied by your ISP)

to specify how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.

VC-MUX:

PPPoA Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows

only one protocol running per virtual circuit with fewer overheads.

LLC:

PPPoA Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols running over

one virtual circuit (more overhead).

6.

Dial on Demand -

By selecting “Dial on Demand” your Router will

automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a web browser.

7.

Idle Time (Minutes) -

Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet

connection. After this time has been exceeded, the connection will

be terminated.

This connection method bridges your network and ISP’s network

together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your

ISP’s DHCP server.

1.

VPI/VCI -

Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit

Identifier (VCI) parameter here. These identifiers are assigned by your ISP.

2. Encapsulation -

Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.

Manually Configuring your Router

Setting your ISP Connection to Static IP (IPoA)

This connection type is also called “Classical IP over ATM” or “CLIP”,

which your ISP provides a fixed IP for your Router to connect to

the Internet.

1.

WAN IP Address –

Enter an IP address assigned by your ISP for

the Router WAN interface.

2. WAN Subnet Mask -

Enter a subnet mask assigned by your ISP.

3.

Default Route -

Enter a default gateway IP address. If the Router

cannot find the destination address within its local network, it will

forward the packets to the default gateway assigned by your ISP.

4.

VPI/VCI -

Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit

Identifier (VCI) parameter here. These identifiers are assigned by

your ISP.

5. Encapsulation -

Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.

Setting your Connection Type to Modem Only (Disable

Internet Sharing)

In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets

across the DSL port. It requires additional software to be installed on

your computers in order to access the Internet.

1.

VPI/VCI -

Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit

Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).

DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings

A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that

translates Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to

IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information

into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP” box

(1)

should be checked

if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. If you are using

a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific

DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work

properly. If your connection type is dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that

you do not have to enter a DNS address. Leave the “Automatic from

ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address settings, uncheck the

“Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS entries in the spaces

provided. Click “Apply Changes”

(2)

to save the settings.
