DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

 

 

 

 

 

Connection Type

Choose between PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoE VC-Mux, depending

 

 

on the instructions of your ISP.

 

 

MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a link layer restriction on the

 

 

 

maximum number of bytes of data that can be sent in a single transmission.

 

 

 

The default size is 1400 bytes per packet.

 

 

MRU

The Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) field indicates the maximum number of

 

 

 

bytes that can be received by the Router. This MRU’s default size is 1492

 

 

 

bytes per packet. Upon initial negotiation with your ISP, the router will tell

 

 

 

the ISP that the amount entered here is the largest packet allowed to be

 

 

 

accepted by the router.

 

 

Default Route

Click the corresponding radio button if you wish to enable or disable the

 

 

 

Default Route. The Default Route is used for outgoing packets, which have an

 

 

 

unresolved IP address. If the router is unable to match the destination address

 

 

 

on a received packet with a destination address in the routing table, the router

 

 

 

uses the default route.

 

 

NAT

NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network

 

 

 

behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be

 

 

 

used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection. Use the pull-

 

 

 

down menu to Enable or Disable NAT on the Router.

 

 

Firewall

The Firewall allows the Router to enforce policies to protect against certain

 

 

 

kinds of attacks. To enable the firewall on the Router, use the pull-down

 

 

 

menu and select Enabled.

 

 

IP Control

This field allows the user to control the WAN IP address of the router. There

 

 

 

are three choices for the user:

 

 

 

Dynamic IP – Select this option if you wish to have an IP address

 

 

 

automatically assigned to the router.

 

 

 

Unnumbered IP – Select this option if your ISP has assigned a block of IP

 

 

 

addresses for use.

 

 

 

Static IP – Select this option if you know the IP address assigned to the

 

 

 

router. After selecting this option, the user must enter the known Static IP

 

 

 

address in the following field. A Static IP address is used whenever a known

 

 

 

static IP is assigned.

 

 

Static IP

This field states the Static IP Address of the Router and can only be

 

 

 

configured when Static IP is chosen in the previous field.

 

Click Apply to implement the PPPoE settings for the DSL-524T.

Bridge Mode

Selecting this option in the WAN Settings will change your screen to look like the one seen below. Bridge Mode is for users who have software on their computer or other network device to accept the connection from your ISP. The Connection Type setting is selected by using the pull-down menu. The two choices available to the user here are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP Vc-Mux,and this correct choice should be provided to you by your ISP.
