P-791R v2 Support Notes
Key Settings:
Option
Description
Encapsulation
Select the correct Encapsulation type that your ISP supports. For
example, RFC 1483.
Multiplexing
Select the correct Multiplexing type that your ISP supports. For example,
LLC.
VPI & VCI
number
Specify a VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and a VCI (Virtual Channel
Identifier) given to you by your ISP.
(2) Turn off DHCP Server and configure a LAN IP for the P-791R v2 in Web
Configurator,
Network -> LAN
. We use 192.168.1.1 as the LAN IP for
P-791R v2 in this case:
Step 1: Inactivate DHCP Server and apply.
Step 2: Assign an IP to the LAN Interface of P-791R v2, e.g.192.168.1.1
2. Internet Access Using P-791R v2 under Routing mode
For most Internet users having multiple computers want to share an Internet
account for Internet access, they have to install an Internet sharing device, like
a router. In this case, we use the P-791R v2 which works as a general Router
plus a DSL Modem.
Set up your workstation
(1) Ethernet connection
Connect the LAN ports of all computers to the LAN Interface of P-791R v2
using Ethernet cables.
(2) TCP/IP configuration
Since the P-791R v2 is set to DHCP server as default, so you need only to
configure the workstations as the DHCP clients in the networking settings. In
this case, the IP address of the computer is assigned by the P-791R v2. The
P-791R v2 can also provide the DNS to the clients via DHCP if it is available.
For this setup in Windows, we check the option
'Obtain an IP address
automatically'
in its TCP/IP setup. Please see the example shown below.
