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
user-friendly domain names that users type into their Web browsers to the
equivalent numerical IP addresses that are used for Internet routing.
Blocked Protocols Blocks/unblocks th e 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
Upgrade
Uploads a new image to the system. Your ISP may provide you with an upgrade to
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”).
