DSL-320T ADSL Modem User Guide

Select the Connection Type used for your account. The window will display settings that are appropriate for the connection type you select. Follow the instruction below according to the type of connection you select in this window.

Follow the instructions below to configure the Modem to use a PPPoE or PPPoA for the Internet connection. Make sure you have all the necessary information before you configure the WAN connection.

To set up a PPPoE or PPPoA connection:

1.If not already selected, click the PPPoE/PPPoA radio button in the WAN Settings section in the middle of the window. PPPoE/PPPoA is selected by default if you are configuring the Modem for the first time.

2.The settings under ATM VC Setting at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Enabled) value for now.

3.Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used for your ADSL account. A typical User Name will be in the form user1234@isp.co.uk. The Password may be assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP. See the table below for more information about the optional settings, AC Name and Service Name.

4.Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password entry fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are PPPoA VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC and PPPoE LLC. If you have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

5.Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below).

6.Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below).

7.Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Modem as the default route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Modem becomes the Internet gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without effecting the Modem’s connection.

8.Typically the globally IP settings (i.e. IP address for the WAN interface) for a PPPoA or PPPoA connection will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific global IP address. If you have been give an IP address for your PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the Static IP option from the IP Control pull-down menu.

9.Choose the desired Connection Setting. Select from: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual. Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.

10.Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 23 for a description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.

11.When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.

12.To save and reboot the Modem, click on the Tools directory tab and then click System. Next click the Save and Reboot button in the lower half of the System Settings window.

13.Click OK when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.
