Using the ADSL Configurator
You need this configuration tool to create your profiles. You can then:
•create another profile or modify the existing profile;
•save your profile;
•update your profile (i.e. load this profile to the router).
This tool is also used to update the firmware of your BeWAN ADSL Router.
Creation / Modification of a profile
1. Click on Start, point to Programs, ADSL Configurator, and then click on ADSL
Configurator to launch the application.
2. If the connection has been made correctly, your router must be visible in the configurator. Select
it, and then click on Edit/new profile.
3. In the File name field, enter the name which you would like to assign to your new profile, or
select a pre-existing profile in order to modify it. Click on Open.

BeWAN ADSL Router User’s guide 14
4. If you create a profile, the following window appears; it is used to select the protocol required
by your ADSL service provider. In this manual, we outline the most commonly used protocols,
i.e. those which are most often required by ADSL service providers. In order to determine
which protocol to use, check with your telecom operator.
If you are only modifying your profile, continue directly to the next step, i.e. your profile’s
parameterisation window.
PPPoA (RFC 2364)
1. Select PPPoA (RFC 2364) as the protocol type, and then click on OK.
2. Enter the characteristics of your profile:
•Under the Username and Password headings, enter the identification parameters provided
by your Internet access provider.
•Select your authentication protocol. The CHAP protocol is most often used by ADSL service
providers.
•In the VPI and VCI headings, enter the required parameters of your ADSL service provider.
•Select your interface type: if your router is connected via the Ethernet port, select Ethernet.
If, however, you are connected via the USB port, select USB.
•In the LAN IP settings field, indicate your router’s IP address as well as the corresponding
sub-network mask.
Note: the BeWAN ADSL Router’s IP address must imperatively be within the same
addressing range as that of your local network.
•Select the modulation type required by your telecommunications operator. We recommend
that you use the Multimode modulation.
Note: Multimode takes in all of the modulations used for appendix A (G.Lite, G.DMT
Appendix A and T1.413).

3. In the part DNS Relay, check Assigned by PPP. Indeed, if this is not the case and if you have
entered the IP address of the router in order to use the Proxy DNS function, you will not able to
navigate. This method, on the contrary, will optimise your navigation. When making the
connection, the DNS will be assigned to you dynamically.
4. Click OK to validate your profile. Your newly created profile can now be loaded to the router.
Refer to the section “Updating a profile” on page 23 and follow the steps in the update
procedure.
Note: if you would like to activate the DHCP server, see the following section.

BeWAN ADSL Router User’s guide 16
Configuring the DHCP server
Here is an example of DHCP server configuration. This is used to automatically manage the
assignment of IP addresses for the machines on the network. Each machine which is to connect to
an Internet network must have a unique IP address. The DHCP server avoids having to manually
assign an address for each machine, by dynamically assigning an available IP address. The DHCP
server provides a reliable and simple TCP/IP network configuration, it prevents address conflicts
and makes it possible to verify the use of the IP addresses by means of the centralised management
of the address assignments.
1. In your profile’s parameterisation window, check the DHCP Server box and then click on
Configuration.
2. Click the Add button.

BeWAN ADSL Router User’s guide 17
3. Fill in your sub-network and the corresponding mask. The sub-network must imperatively be in
the same range as the BeWAN ADSL Router’s IP address. Click on OK.
4. Indicate the range of IP addresses which you would like to use, and then click on Add.
Note: this address range must not include the BeWAN ADSL Router’s IP address.

BeWAN ADSL Router User’s guide 18
5. In the Max lease time field, indicate the number of seconds during which this IP address is
assigned to you. After this period, the DHCP server well assign a new IP address to you.
6. In the Routers field, indicate the BeWAN ADSL Router’s IP address, and then click on Add.

BeWAN ADSL Router User’s guide 19
7. Click OK to validate your parameters.
8. When you have finished entering these parameters, click on OK. Your profile will be saved in
the folder of your choice.
