Chapter 3. Configuration
24
To configure a Static IP type connection for the WAN, follow these steps:
1. Choose
the
Static IP Address
option in the
WAN Settings
section.
2. The ATM 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
ATM Interface
and
Virtual Circuit
settings at the defaults (
PVC-0
and
Enabled
) values for
now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
3. In
the
Static IP
section, choose the
Connection Type
setting from the pull-down menu. This defines the
encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are
1483 Routed VC-Mux
,
1483 Routed
LLC-Mux
,
IPoA VC-Mux
,
IPoA LLC
,
and
IPoA LLC(1577)
. If you have not been provided specific information for
this section, leave the default setting.
4. Change
the
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
, and
ISP
Gateway
Address
as instructed by your ISP. These are the
global IP settings for the Internet (WAN) interface. This is the “visible” IP address of your account. Your ISP
should have provided these IP settings to you.
5. Enter
a
Primary DNS Server
address and a
Secondary DNS Server
address as instructed by your ISP.
6. Turn on the
Default Route
feature if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for your LAN.
Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to
the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may turn this off without effecting the
Router’s connection.
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 disabled on all connections.
8. The
IGMP
feature is
Disabled
by default.
9. When you are satisfied that all the Internet settings are configured correctly, click on the
Apply
button.
