Bridge Mode
For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install
additional software on any computer that will use the Router for Internet
access. The additional software is used for the purpose of identifying and
verifying your account, and then granting Internet access to the computer
requesting the connection. The connection software requires the user to
enter the User Name and Password for the ISP account. This information
is stored on the computer, not in the Router.
.
To configure a Static IP Address WAN connection, follow these steps:
1. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu. This
defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method
used for your ADSL service. The available options are
1483
Bridged IP LLC
and
1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.
If you have not been
provided specific information for this setting, leave the default
setting.
2. If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the
values assigned for your account.
3. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured
correctly, click the
Apply Settings
button. This will save the
settings and reboot the Router to let your changes take effect.
4. Upon restarting, the Router should automatically establish the
WAN connection. If it does not, click the
Connect
button at the
bottom of this window.
