| Chapter 3: Configuration |
PPP | Configures and displays Point to Point Protocol (PPP) interfaces. The PPP protocol is |
| commonly used between ISPs and their customers to identify and control various |
| communication properties. |
EOA | Configures and displays RFC1483/Ethernet over ATM (EoA) interfaces. The EoA |
| protocol is commonly used to carry data between LANs that use the Ethernet |
| protocol and WANs that use the ATM protocol. |
IPOA | Configures and displays IP over ATM (IPoA) interfaces. An IPoA interface can be used |
| to exchange IP packets over ATM network, without using an underlying EoA |
| connection. |
Services |
|
NAT | Configures Network Address Translation (NAT), a security protocol in which the |
| device translates the IP addresses of your LAN computers to new addresses before |
| sending data out on the Internet (refer to “NAT Configuration”). |
RIP | Lists any interfaces on your device that use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and |
| the version of the protocol used. Routers on your LAN communicate with one |
| another using the RIP (refer to “RIP Configuration”). |
FireWall | Configures the firewall function, enabling you to protect the system against denial of |
| services (DoS) attacks and other types of malicious accesses to your LAN (refer to |
| “Firewall Configuration”). |
IP Filter | Configures IP filters enabling you to create rules that control the forwarding of |
| incoming and outgoing data between your LAN and the Internet and within your |
| LAN (refer to “IP Filter Configuration”). |
DNS | Configures Domain Name Service (DNS) server IP Addresses. DNS servers map the |
| |
| equivalent numerical IP addresses that are used for Internet routing. |
Blocked Protocols | Blocks/unblocks the protocols running access the system. This enables you to |
| prevent the ADSL Router from passing any data that uses a particular protocol (refer |
| to “To Block Specific Protocols”). |
Admin |
|
User Config | Displays user information and changes your password (refer to “User Configuration”). |
Commit & Reboot | Commits changes to system memory and reboots your system with different |
| configurations (refer to “Committing Changes to Permanent Storage”). |
Local Image | Uploads a new image to the system. Your ISP may provide you with an upgrade to |
Upgrade | the software running on your ADSL Router. All system software is contained in a |
| single file, called an image (refer to “Image Upgrade”). |
Alarm | Displays information about alarms that occur in the system. Alarms, also called traps, |
| are caused by a variety of system events, including connection attempts, resets and |
| configuration changes (refer to “View System Alarms”). |
Diagnostics | Executes a series of test of your system software and hardware connections (refer to |
| “Diagnostics”). |
Port Settings | Modifies various port settings access the system (refer to “Port Settings”). |
