LABEL DESCRIPTION
Line
ADSL Mode Select the kind of connection your Router uses to connect to the ISP.
Use Auto Sync-Up if you are not sure which mode to choose from. The Router dynamically
diagnoses the mode supported by the ISP and selects the best compatible one for your
connection.
Use ADSL2+ or T1.413 if you know the specific type of DSL the Router uses to connect to the
ISP.
Other options are VDSL2, ADSL2, G.DMT, T1.413 and G.lite.
Annex M Select this if your ISP supports it.
General
Active Select this to have the Router use the Ethernet connection.
Node Name Specify the name for this WAN interface.
Mode Select Router (default) if your ISP gives you one IP address only and you want multiple
computers to share an Internet account. Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more than
one IP address and you want the connected computers to get individual IP address from the
ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT
on the Router.
Encapsulation Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP. Choices vary depending on the mode
you select in the Mode field.
If you select Router in the Mode field, select ENET ENCAP,IPoA, PPPoE, or PPPoA.
If you select Bridge in the Mode field, method of encapsulation is not available.
User Name (PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a
name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service name, then enter both
components exactly as given.
Password (PPPoE or PPPoA encapsulation) Enter the password associated with the user name above.
Service Name (PPPoE or PPPoA encapsulation) Type the name of your PPPoE or PPPoA service here.
Multiplex Select the method of multiplexing your ISP uses. Choices are VC-Mux or LLC.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will carry
IP. If you select VC-Mux, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.
For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with
protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only one
set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual
Stack Select IPv4 if you want the Router to run IPv4 only.
Select IPv4/IPv6 to allow the Router to run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Select IPv6 if you want the Router to run IPv6 only.
