Router PPP Configuration

The modem is configured by default from the factory to be in router mode using PPP encapsulation. This greatly simplifies the configuration procedure.

To configure the router via HTML:

1On the main page, click on Simple Setup.

2If your service provider has specified a VPI/VCI number to use, enter the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields.

3Enter the PPP username and password specified by your service provider.

4Select Set. This will set the new VPI/VCI parameters on the router . Select Refresh after a minute or two to see the new configuration.

RFC 1483 Configuration

There are two types of RFC 1483 encapsulation that can be used: RFC 1483 bridged and RFC 1483 routed.

RFC 1483 Routed encapsulation operates at the IP layer and will route only IP packets. RFC 1483 bridged encapsulation method handles non-IP packets, which the unit supports only while configured for use as a bridge. The method you will use depends on the configuration parameters specified by your internet service provider.

The procedure that follows assumes that you have a unit that is configured with factory defaults.

To configure the modem via HTML:

1On the main page, look in the Configuration Summary table and click on the title Encapsulation Protocol.

2If your service provider has specified a different VPI/VCI number to use, enter the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields. Otherwise, enter the default VPI and VCI values.

3Select the desired RFC 1483 encapsulation.
