How do you want to use the Router?

The router is configured with several default configuration settings and these settings will be appropriate for most installations (see page 25 for default configuration settings). However, to assess whether these settings will work for you, you need to decide how you are planning to use the router. The flowchart below allows you to choose a simple configuration procedure to use to configure your router. More complex configurations can be configured using the Advanced Setup feature of the HTML interface.

NOTE: Your service provider should have notified you which encapsulation method to use, PPP or RFC 1483. Refer to “Encapsulation Methods: PPP and RFC 1483” on page 30 for descriptions of PPP and RFC 1483.
