Internet Configuration Wizard
The
Internet Configuration Wizard
allows the administrator to configure the WAN interface settings and to adjust Quadro’s connectivity with an
external network. The
Internet
Configuration Wizard MUST be run for Quadro to be connected to the Internet
.
All the settings of the
Internet Configuration Wizard
are
described in the chapters below except those for the IP settings,
which will be described in this chapter.
Please Note:
It is strongly recommended not to change the
factory default settings if their meanings are not fully clear
to an administrator.

The Wizard allows navigating through the following basic configuration parameters and settings:
•
Uplink configuration (see below)

The
Switch to Auto Provisioning
page where Quadro can be configured automatically.
The
Uplink Configuration
page allows you to select the Quadro‘s
WAN interface connection type and its bandwidth settings. These
settings will make Quadro available to the external network.
Depending on the Uplink Interface Protocol selection, the page
following the
Uplink Configuration
page is different. Thus if
PPPoE
is selected, the next page will be
PPP Configuration
, while
selecting
Ethernet
will bring up the
WAN IP Configuration
page.
The
Uplink
Configuration
page offers the following components:
The
WAN Interface Protocol
radio buttons are used to choose the
protocol depending on the requirements of the ISP (Internet Service
Provider):
PPPoE
- turns on the PPP over an Ethernet connection.
PPTP
– turns on the Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (
PPTP
)
interface used for the connection between Quadro and ADSL
modem. A fixed IP address configuration is needed in this
case.
Ethernet
- turns on the Ethernet connection.

The
WAN Interface Bandwidth
settings allow the specification of the upstream and downstream speeds in kbit/s, helping to assure the quality of IP
calls. An IP call looses the voice quality if there is no available bandwidth. When approaching the limits of bandwidth capacity, another IP call will be
declined.
The bandwidth provided by the ISP has to be specified in the text fields
Upstream Speed
and
Downstream Speed
. The default entry in both fields
is 10000, the maximum bandwidth of a 10 MB Ethernet.
The bandwidth required by an IP call depends on the codecs used and these specifications are listed in the tables below:
