CHAPTER 4 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMON APPLICATIONS

This chapter provides detailed examples that can be used as models for similar applications. Turn to the example that is closest to your application, read the explanations, and fill in the blank spaces with parameters appropriate to your system. At the end of the section, you should have listed all the parameters needed to configure the router. At that point, read chapter 3 if you have not already, and configure your router with help from later chapters of the Installation Manual, when needed.

Example 1 Connection to an Internet Access Provider via Modem

This section will guide you through a complete router installation for the connection of a LAN to an Internet access provider via PPP. The configuration of NAT (Network Address Translation) will also be shown. Figure

4.1shows the example system used in this section. Spaces have been provided next to the parameters needed for the configuration where you can fill in the parameters for your system. Do this now before continuing.

FIGURE 4.1 CONNECTION TO ACCESS PROVIDER USING A SWAN INTERFACE AND A MODEM

Please read the entire example and follow the instructions before turning the router on. The router is

programmed to log the super user off after 10 minutes of inactivity. All data not explicitly saved to memory is then lost. Collecting the data while configuring the router will likely cause delays and frustration.
