DSL-G624T Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
3. Under
the
Static IP
heading, choose the
Connection Type
from the pull-down menu. This defines
both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available
options are
Bridged IP LLC
,
Bridged IP VC-Mux
,
Routed IP LLC
,
Routed IP VC-Mux
or
IPoA
. If
have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default
setting.
4. Change
the
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
,
Gateway Address
and (if available)
Secondary DNS
Server IP address as instructed by your ISP. These are the global IP settings for the WAN interface.
This is the “visible” IP address of your account. Your ISP should have provided these IP settings to
you. For IPoA (Classic IP over ATM) connections you may need to type in an additional IP address
for a
ARP Server Address
. If you are using an IPoA connection, ask your ISP if it is necessary to
use an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) server.
5. Leave
the
MTU
value at the default setting (default =
1400
) unless you have specific reasons to
change this (see table below).
6.
PPPoE PassThrough
should be enabled if you require a separate and independent PPPoE
connection to the ISP network. For example, a single computer running with a separate exisiting ISP
account can use PPPoE connection software that has already been installed to complete a separate
connection to the ISP. Most users will leave this function
Disabled.
7.
NAT
should remain
Enabled
. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one
computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are
using multiple virtual connections, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
8. The
Firewall
should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able
to use the features configured in the
Firewall Configuration
and
Filters
window located in the
Advanced
directory. See the next chapter for more details on these windows.
9. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a pass-through mechanism that allows packets to pass through
the Router so that it effectively functions as a bridge. Check
Enable
PPTP
and enter the required
information in the
ServerIP/Name
,
Route Target
,
Route Mask
,
PPTP Account
,
PPTP Password
,
and
MPPE Encryption
fields. A table on page 43 provides a summary of the parameters used to
configure PPTP connections.
10. Most users will not need to change
ATM
settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the
ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the
Service Category
settings at the default
values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the
parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
11. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the
Apply
button.
12. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
save and reboot the Router, click on the
Tools
directory tab and then click the
System
button. In the
System Settings
window, click the
Save and
Reboot
button under Save Settings and Reboot the
System.
13. Click
OK
when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box
opens.
14. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon
restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN
connection.
