ADSL/Ethernet Router with Built-in Switch
User Manual
Configuring via Web-based Interface
Interface Grouping
On the
Advanced / Interface grouping
page, you can assign virtual PVC connections to the
router's ports (create groups of interfaces), which allows distinguishing different types of traffic.
This function is mostly used in Triple-play networks. Also on the page you can configure the router
to connect to a private Ethernet line.
!
The Ethernet WAN function allows using any Ethernet port of the router to access the
Internet via Ethernet technology. When the function is enabled, the router is still able to
access the Internet via ADSL technology.
To use the functions of this page, first enable virtual ports for the Ethernet switch (select the
Enable virtual ports
checkbox).
