Configuring the WAN
Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface and the WAN
interface, the WAN side of the router must be configured. Depending upon your
ISP, you will need some or all of the information listed below before you can
properly configure the WAN:
Your DSL line’s Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)
Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing mode
Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
If you use PPPoA or PPPoE, you also need these values from your ISP:
Your username and password
If you use multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (as described
in RFC 1483), you may need these values from your ISP:
Your DSL fixed Internet IP address
Your subnet mask
Your default gateway IP address
Your primary DNS IP address
Since multiple users can use the router, the router can simultaneously support
multiple connection types. You must set up different profiles for each connection.
The router supports the following protocols:
DHCP
PPPoA (RFC 2364)
PPPoE (RFC 2516)
Static
Bridged
