Configure each of the Quick Start settings 

as instructed by your 

ISP

:

Operation Mode 

 

Enable?

 This setting enables or disables the 

VisionNet 202ER. When set to “No”, the device cannot be 
used to provide Internet connectivity for your network. Set it 
to “Yes” now, if necessary.

 

Encapsulation: 

This setting determines the type of data 

link used to communicate with your ISP: LLC muxed or VC.

 

Bridge: 

This setting enables or disables bridging between 

the VisionNet 202ER and your ISP. Your ISPs may also 
refer to this using “RFC 1483” or  “Ethernet over ATM”.

 

IGMP: 

This setting enables or disables the Internet Group 

Management Protocol, which some ISPs use to perform 
remote configuration of your device.

 

IP Address 

and

 Subnet Mask:

 If your ISP has assigned a 

public IP address to your Network, enter the address and 
the associated subnet mask in the boxes provided.

 

WAN Gateway

. Enter the gateway IP address for your 

ISP’s network. 

DNS Settings 

 

DNS Proxy Selection:

 This setting determines how the 

VisionNet 202ER will obtain DNS server addresses. The 
DNS server matches the user-friendly website names you 
type into your browser with the sites’ numeric IP addresses. 
Choose User Configured if you know the DNS server 
addresses; otherwise choose AutoDiscovery. 

 

Primary/Secondary DNS:

 If you selected 

User Configured

in the DNS Proxy Selection, enter the Primary and 
Secondary DNS addresses provided by your ISP. If you 
selected 

Auto Dis User Configured

, you are not 

required to enter addresses here; they will be used in 
addition to any addresses discovered automatically. 

PPP Settings 

 

Username 

and

 Password:

 Enter the username and 

password you use to log in to your ISP. 

 

Disconnect timeout:

 Enter the number of seconds after 

which your ISP connection will time out if there is no activity. 

 

Authentication:

method your ISP uses (PAP or CHAP).
