DSL-G624T Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
Select the connection type used for your account. The window will display settings that are appropriate for
the connection type you select. Follow the instruction below according to the type of connection you select
in the WAN Settings window.
For Bridged connections it will be necessary for most users to install additional software on any computer
that will 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.
Follow the instructions below to configure a Bridged connection for the WAN interface.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not
need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table
below for a description of all the settings available in this window.
Choose the
Bridge Mode
option from the
WAN Settings
pull-down menu.
Under the
ATM VC Settings
at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have been
instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the
VPI
or
VCI
values, type in the
values assigned for your account. Leave the

) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your
ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on page 42 below.
Under the

Connection Type

have established the connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the parameters available for
ATM traffic shaping.
