DSL-320T ADSL Modem User Guide

To configure a Static IP connection for the WAN, follow these steps:

1.Click the Static IP Address radio button in the WAN Settings section in the middle of the window.

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 Static IP heading, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. This defines both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are Routed IP LLC and Routed IP VC-Mux.If you have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type, leave the default setting.

4.Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and (if available) Secondary DNS Address as instructed by your ISP. These are the global IP settings for the WAN interface. This is the “visible” IP address of your account. Your ISP should have provided these IP settings to you.

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

6.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.

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

8.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.

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

10.The Modem will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Modem will automatically establish the WAN connection.
