Configure Connection 1 for Bridge

Bridge” means a pure bridged connection with no IP address assigned to the Router. This connection method makes the Router act as a bridge, and just passes packets across the DSL port. When the device is used in this manner, it is necessary to install additional connection software on any computer or server used to access the Internet.

Figure 3-11. Setup – Configure Connection 1 for Bridge

To configure the WAN connection for Bridge, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.

1.Click the Connection 1 button under WAN Setup to view the default PPPoA Connection Setup configuration menu.

2.Select Bridge from the Type: pull-down menu. This action will change the menu so it offers fewer settings for configuration.

3.Type in a Name: in the space provided (WAN_PPPoA is used in the above example).

4.If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use the default settings.

5.Leave the default QoS values if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.

6.Do not change the PCR or SCR values unless you are required to do so. If you are told to change these, type in the values given to you by your service provider.

7.The Encapsulation values LLC (SNAP) and VC (MUX) are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.

8.Click the Apply button when you have entered all the information. The web browser will briefly go blank. You are now finished changing setting for the primary WAN connection known as Connection 1. It is now necessary to save the changes you just made and restart the Router.
