Configuring the WAN

Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the router must be configured. Depending upon your ISP, you will need some or all of the information listed below before you can properly configure the WAN:

„Your DSL line’s Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

„Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing mode

„Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)

If you use PPPoA or PPPoE, you also need these values from your ISP:

„Your username and password

If you use multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (as described in RFC 1483), you may need these values from your ISP:

„Your DSL fixed Internet IP address

„Your subnet mask

„Your default gateway IP address

„Your primary DNS IP address

Since multiple users can use the router, the router can simultaneously support multiple connection types. You must set up different profiles for each connection. The router supports the following protocols:

„DHCP

„PPPoA (RFC 2364)

„PPPoE (RFC 2516)

„Static

„Bridged
