Bridged Connection Type:
In Bridged mode, Ethernet frames are bridged over ATM Virtual Circuits. The Ethernet
frames are encapsulated using either LLC Encapsulation or VC Multiplexing. Since the
Ethernet packets are bridged, the router’s only functionality is to pass the Ethernet
packets to and from the Internet Service Provider and the local network. The IP
addresses of the local network are assigned by your ISP either statically or dynamically.
In this setting, NAT and firewall rules are disabled. This connection method makes the
iConnectAccess624W act as a transparent hub, and passes packets across from the
WAN interface to the LAN interface transparently.
If your ISP provides a bridged service, this is the type that you should select.
