2.3 CONFIGURING THE DIP SWITCHES

The LB510A-R2 is equipped with three sets of DIP switches, which you can use to configure the modem for a broad range of applications. This section describes switch locations and discusses the configuration options available.

NOTE: By default, the LB510A-R2’s DIP switches are all set to “OFF” so the CPE can be configured via G.SHDSL.bis EFM DSLAM. If that is how you will be configuring the CPE, skip ahead to section “Ethernet Management Port” on page 19. Otherwise, read the following sections to manually configure the DIP switch settings.

The three sets of DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the LB510A-R2 (see Figure 3).
