WAN Selection
The router can be connected to the internet using IDSL, SDSL, or SHDSL. The connection mode is usually
dictated by your service provider. Only one selection is compatible with your ISP’s central office equipment.
To specify the WAN connection mode compatible with your ISP:
1. Click
WAN Selection
on the left navigation pane of the Router Information page. This displays the WAN
Physical Layer Selection page.
2. Select one of the following WAN connection modes:
•
IDSL
Be sure to select the switch type from the Switch drop-down menu.
•
SDSL ATM or SDSL Frame Relay
Be sure to select the DSLAM from the
DSLAM
drop-down menu and the
Speed
from the Speed drop-
down menu. This can be one of the following:
-
Rate: You must select a speed in the
Rate
drop-down menu.
-
List: The rate is selected from the list based on successful connection. If one rate is unsuccessful, the
next rate will be tried, and so on until a rate is successful.
-
Auto = Automode if supported. Uses the highest attainable rate allowed by both the line conditions
and what is configured in the DSLAM. This is only supported on a few DSLAMs.
•
SHDSL
Be sure to select Annex A or Annex B from the
Annex
drop-down menu. Annex A is typically used in the
US and Annex B is typically used in Europe.
3. Click
Apply & Reboot
. Changing modes results in the deletion of all remotes. You must run Easy Setup
again after the reboot completes.
