7.The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able to use the features configured in the Firewall and Filters menus located in the Advanced directory. See the next chapter for more details on these menus.

8.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 41 for a description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.

To Save & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Save & Reboot menu button. In the Save and Reboot menu, click the Reboot button under Force the DSL-G624T to system restart. The Router will save the new settings and restart.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This specifies the connection type and encapsulation method used for your

 

 

Connection Type

Dynamic IP Address connection. The options available are Bridged IP LLC

 

 

 

or Bridged IP VC-MUX.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in

 

 

 

the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC

 

 

 

Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the

 

 

Cloned MAC Address

information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used

 

 

for DHCP. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. If you want to later

 

 

 

replace the cloned MAC address with the factory default setting, type in all

 

 

 

zeros - 0:0:0:0:0:0 - and click the Clone MAC Address button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to

 

 

 

optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The

 

 

 

default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user

 

 

MTU

may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or

 

 

 

when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly

 

 

 

recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect

 

 

 

network traffic for better or worse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-

 

 

 

down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows on a single computer

to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and

 

 

 

disable for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is

 

 

 

set up for multiple virtual connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features
