DESCRIPTION

Interface

Select an interface for which you want to configure here.

 

PTM: The P-2812HNU-51c uses the VDSL technology for data

 

transmission over the DSL port.

 

ATM: The P-2812HNU-51c uses the ADSL technology for data

 

transmission over the DSL port.

 

Ethernet: The P-2812HNU-51c transmits data over the Ethernet WAN

 

port. Select this if you have a DSL router or modem in your network

 

already.

 

 

Current Mode

This displays whether the P-2812HNU-51c uses the DSL port or

 

Ethernet WAN port for Internet access.

 

When you set the DSL/WAN switch (on the back of the P-2812HNU-

 

51c) to the DSL side, this displays PTM/ATM WAN. The WAN port

 

will be disabled automatically.

 

When you set the DSL/WAN switch to the WAN side, this displays

 

ETH WAN. The DSL port will be disabled automatically. This allows

 

the P-2812HNU-51c to work as an Ethernet gateway instead of a DSL

 

router. To access the Internet, connect the WAN port to a broadband

 

modem or router.
