circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on page 42
below.
3. Under
the
Dynamic IP
heading, choose the
Connection Type
from the pull-down menu. This
defines both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are
1483 Bridged IP LLC
and
1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.
If have not been provided
specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4.
Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first
access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being
allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the
Cloned MAC Address
field and click the
Clone
MAC Address
button.
5. Leave
the
MTU
value at the default setting (default =
1400
) unless you have specific reasons to
change this (see table below).

NAT
should remain
Enabled
. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one
computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are
using multiple virtual connections, NAT will disabled on all connections.
7. The
Firewall
should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able
to use the features configured in the
Firewall Configuration
and
Filters
windows located in the
Advanced
directory. See the next chapter for more details on these windows.
8. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a pass-through mechanism that allows packets to pass through

PPTP
and enter the required
information in the
ServerIP/Name
,
Route Target
,
Route Mask
,
PPTP Account
,
PPTP Password
,
and
MPPE Encryption
fields. A table on page 43 provides a summary of the parameters used to
configure PPTP connections.
9. Most users will not need to change
ATM
settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the
ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the
Service Category
settings at the default
values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the
parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
10. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the
Apply
button.
11. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
save and reboot the Router, click on the
Tools
directory tab and then click the
System
button. In the
System Settings
window, click the
Save and
Reboot
button under Save Settings and Reboot the
System.
