4.3 Setup

To set up your router with a basic configuration, select Setup. Figure 3 illustrates the setup page. The page is broken

into two subsections: the WAN configuration and the LAN configuration.

Figure 3 (Setup page)

Before configuring the router, there are several concepts that you should be familiar with on how your new router

works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these concepts, as it should make the configuration much

easier.

4.3.1 Wide Area Network connection

The Wide Area Network (WAN) connection is also referred to as a broadband connection. The WAN connection is

different for every WAN supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.

4.3.2 Local Area Network connection

You have your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the

router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.

4.4 Configuring the WAN

Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the

modem must be configured. Depending upon your service provider, you will need some (or all) of the information

outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN:

• Your DSL line VPI and VCI

• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing

• Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
