CHAPTER 3: Quick Setup Menu
21
The fields in the Quick Setup example are described below:
3.1.1 L
INK
M
ODE
Select this parameter to determine how data is transmitted across the link. There are three modes:
1. When the mode is synchronous, data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender and the receiver are
synchronized.
2. When the mode is asynchronous, data units are transmitted character-by-character. The characters are
preceded by start bits and followed by stop bits. The start and stop bits provide synchronization at the receiver
side.
3. Frame Relay is a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices on a WAN.
Use the space bar to switch to synchronous, asynchronous, or Frame Relay mode.
3.1.2 R
OUTING
Select this parameter to assign the link type. Use the space bar to switch to Bridge, IP, IPX, or IP & IPX.
Selecting IPX link type disables the Single IP and WAN IP Address features, and eliminates the corresponding
parameters from the screen.
3.1.3 C
ONNECTION
Select this parameter to determine when the link between the local LAN and the Internet should be activated.
Selecting
upon traffic to WAN
activates the link only when there is traffic to be sent on the link. Selecting
always
keeps the link active independent of traffic. If you pay for your connection by the minute, selecting
upon
traffic to WAN
will reduce your operating costs.
Choose
always
or
upon traffic to WAN
. If you choose
upon traffic to WAN
, the Disconnect Timeout parameter
displays.
3.1.4 WAN IP A
DDRESS
Select this parameter to enter the IP address for the WAN interface.
3.1.5 BOOTP A
DDRESS
Select this parameter to enter the IP address for the BOOTP server.
3.1.6 M
ODEM
T
YPE
Select this parameter to change the modem type.
3.1.7 B
AUD
R
ATE
Select this parameter to display the rate at which data is sent between the Ethernet Extender and the modem.
Use the space bar to run through the different baud rates. The Quick Setup default value is recommended for
your modem.
