Bridge Mode

Description:

In this example, the IAD acts as a bridge which bridging the PC IP addresses from LAN to WAN. The PC IP address can be a static public address that is pre-assigned by the ISP or a dynamic public address that is assigned by the ISP DHCP server, or an IP address received from PPPoE software.

Therefore, it does not require a public IP address. It only has a default private IP address (192.168.1.1) for management purpose.

Configuration:

1.Choose a client PC and set the IP as 192.168.1.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the gateway as 192.168.1.1.

2.Start your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the URL box to access ADSL web-based manager.

3.Go to Quick Start -Quick Setup. Uncheck Auto Scan Internet Connection (PVC). Key in the VCI and VPI value, e.g.,

VPI – 0 VCI – 35

Then click the Next button.

4.On the Configure Internet Connection -Connection Type page, select Bridging then click the Next button.

5.On the WAN IP Settings page, select None for WAN IP address settings.

6.On the Configure LAN side Settings page, enter the IP address and subnet mask for your LAN, e.g.:

Primary IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Choose DHCP Server Off and click Next.

7.Check the network information on the Summary page. Make sure the contents match the settings provided by your ISP. Click Finish.

8.Refer to the TCP/IP properties, specify an IP Address, and fill in other information needed, e.g.:

IP Address: 10.3.86.81

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248

Gateway: 10.3.86.1

Preferred DNS server: 168.95.1.1

9.Click OK. Now the IAD is well-configured. You can access to the Internet.
