The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single

computer, to ensure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN

connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings and

DHCP setup.

Web Configuration

This chapter describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router, including how to change IP

settings and DHCP server setup.

Note:

When subscribing to a broadband service, you should be aware of the method by which you are connected

to the Internet. Your physical WAN device can be Ethernet, DSL, or both.

For example, your ISP should inform you

whether you are connected to the Internet by using a static or dynamic IP address, or the protocols, such as PPPOA

or PPPoE, which you use to communicate over the Internet.

Quick Setup

enables fast and accurate configuration of your Internet connection and other important parameters.

The following sections describe these various configuration parameters.

Setting Up VPI/VCI and QoS

After logging in to the DSL router, if no PVC is configured previ

-

ously and no default settings exist, the

Quick Setup

webpage

will appear This contains some basic configuration that is needed

by ATM PVC. The following introduction guides you through the

necessary steps to configure your DSL Router.

Based on your ISP's instructions, specify the following parameters:

VP

±

I (Virtual Path Identifier)- Virtual path between two points in

an ATM network. The valid value range is from 0 to 255.

VCI

±

(Virtual Channel Identifier)- Virtual channel between two

points in an ATM network. The valid value range is from 32 to

65535 (1 to 31 are reserved for known protocols).

Enable Quality of Service

±

- Enabling QoS for a PVC improves

performance for selected classes of applications. However,

since QoS also consumes system resources, the number of

PVCs are reduced consequently. Go to

Advanced Setup >

Quality of Service

to assign priorities for the applications.

Check the

DSL Auto-connect

box and then click

Next

.

If the ADSL connection is down, uncheck the

DSL Auto-connect

and then click
