ADSL Mode
Select the kind of connection your Router uses to connect to the ISP.
Use
Auto Sync-Up
if you are not sure which mode to choose from. The Router dynamically
diagnoses the mode supported by the ISP and selects the best compatible one for your
connection.
Use
ADSL2+
or
T1.413
if you know the specific type of DSL the Router uses to connect to the
ISP.
Other options are
VDSL2
,
ADSL2
,
G.DMT
,
T1.413
and
G.lite
.
Annex M
Select this if your ISP supports it.
General
Active
Select this to have the Router use the Ethernet connection.
Node Name
Specify the name for this WAN interface.
Mode
Select
Router
(default) if your ISP gives you one IP address only and you want multiple
computers to share an Internet account. Select
Bridge
when your ISP provides you more than
one IP address and you want the connected computers to get individual IP address from the
ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select
Bridge
, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT
on the Router.
Encapsulation
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP. Choices vary depending on the mode
you select in the
Mode
field.
If you select
Router
in the
Mode
field, select
ENET ENCAP
,
IPoA
,
PPPoE
, or
PPPoA
.
If you select
Bridge
in the
Mode
field, method of encapsulation is not available.
User Name
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a
name in the form user@domain
where domain identifies a service name, then enter both
components exactly as given.
Password
(PPPoE or PPPoA encapsulation) Enter the password associated with the user name above.
Service Name
(PPPoE or PPPoA encapsulation) Type the name of your PPPoE or PPPoA service here.
Multiplex
Select the method of multiplexing your ISP uses. Choices are
VC-Mux
or
LLC
.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will carry
IP. If you select
VC-Mux
, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.
For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with
protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only one
set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual
Stack
Select
IPv4
if you want the Router to run IPv4 only.
Select
IPv4/IPv6
to allow the Router to run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Select
IPv6
if you want the Router to run IPv6 only.
