3.2 Connecting the ADSL Router to your network
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more than simply plugging everything together. Because the
Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept
the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them. Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications.
And you can know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router, bridge, PPPoE+NAT and NAT and
PPPoA+NAT. Actually all these are for IP address of WAN.
•
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed mode, it means the IP address of LAN will be routed via WAN. You should set the
"Router" mode in the ADSL router for this situation, also set the IP address / netmask of LAN and VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save
and reboot Router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computer should be set the fixed assigned IP address with the
same domain at this mode.
•
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Bridge mode plus PPPoE, it means the IP address of computer or router will be assigned
automatically via PPPoE. There are two methods you can use at this mode. First you can set the "bridge" mode, give VPI/VCI
of WAN and install PPPoE driver on your computer. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. You
need to use Dial_Up_Network to get the IP address of computer every time. Second method you can set the "PPPoE+NAT"
mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name & password for PPPoE on your router. Then save and reboot router, it will
work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP dynamically.
•
If your ISP provides RFC2364 mode, it means the IP address of router will be assigned automatically via PPPoA. You can set
the "PPPoA+NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name & password for PPPoA on your router. Then save and
reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP dynamically.
•
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed and the serial static IP address for you, there are two methods you can use at this
mode. First you can set the "router" mode and give VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your
