Bridge Mode: Bridge Mode is used when there is one PC connected to the LAN-side
Ethernet port. IEEE 802.1D method oftransport bridging is used to bridge between the
WAN(ADSL) side and the LAN (Ethernet) side, i.e., to store and forward.
Router Mode: Router Mode is used when there is more than one PC connected to the
LAN-side Ethernet port. This enables the ADSLWAN access to be shared with multiple
nodes on the LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported so that one
WAN-side IPaddress can be shared among multiple LAN-side devices. DHCPis used to
serve each LAN-side device and IPaddress.

2
PPPHalf Bridge: Although the Router mode is capable ofterminating the PPPin the
modem and hence does not require PPPoE client software on the host PC, there are
some disadvantages to Router mode when onlysingle-user support is required. For
instance, Router mode uses NATwhich requires ALG support. PPPHalfBridge also
terminates the PPPin the modem and does not require a PPPoE client on the PC.
However,PPP HalfBridge does not use NATand is not limited byALGs. PPP HalfBridge
will work with Ethernet interface to the PC.
Single-User Mode: Onlyone computer is connected at the LAN side through Ethernet.
Multi-User Mode: Multiple computers are connected at the LAN side through Ethernet.
5.2 WAN Configuration
The WAN configuration page allowsyou to set the configuration for the WAN/ADSL
ports. Before you enterthe WAN Configuration page, you will be asked to select an
adapter (PVC0 through PVC7) first. Once you select the adaptor, then following page will
appear.
Virtual Circuit: Select Enable to activate the current PVC configuration. The current
PVC is displayed at the top of the page in parenthesis. Default is Enabled for PVC0 and
Disabled for PVC1-PVC7.

3
Bridge: Enable to connect the LAN to the WAN (bridge the two connections). This is
available in Bridge Mode only(see Table 5-2). Default is Disabled.
IGMP: IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol) relay/proxy specification and
environment, default isDisabled. IGMPis available in all modes and all encapsulations.
Support IGMPproxy/relayfunction for Router, based on the following requirement and
cases:
l On CO side, there must be at least one IGMPquerier (router) present. IGMP
querier will send IGMPquerypacket. The Router is responsible to relaythese
IGMPqueries to Ethernet.
l End-user multicast application device sends IGMPreport while receiving IGMP
queryor being activated bythe user.The Router should be responsible to proxy
(that is, change source IPto Router sWAN IP) the IGMPreport to ADSLWAN
side, including all PVCs. The same case is for IGMPleave packet.
l Not necessaryto relaymulticast routing between twoADSLPVCs or two
interfacesin LAN side.
l Special purpose multicast packet (such as RIP2 packet) should run without
Interference.

Encapsulation: The different types ofencapsulation include PPPoAVC-Mux, PPPoA
LLC, 1483 Bridged IPLLC, 1483 Routed IPLLC, 1483 Bridged IPVC-Mux, 1483 Routed
IPVC-Mux, Classical IPover ATM, PPPoE VC-Mux, PPPoE LLC, and PPPoENone.
5.2.1ATM
VPI: Virtual Path Identifier is a virtual path used for cell routing that is identified byan
eight bit field in the ATM cell header.The VPI field specifies this eight bit identifier for
routing.
Range: 0-255 Default: 0

4
VCI: A Virtual Channel Identifier is a virtual channel that is identified bya unique
numerical tag that is defined bya 16-bit field in the ATM cell header.The purpose of the
virtual channel is to identifywhere the cell should travel. The VCI fieldspecifies this 16 bit
numerical tag that determines the destination.
Range: 0-65535 Default: 35
Service Category: This field allows you to select from the following service categories.
l UBR (default): When configured as UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate), trafficis
delivered with best efforts but with no guarantee. This allows for fluctuation in
times oftemporaryincrease ofavailable bandwidth. For example, ifa PVC with
CBR is temporarilyinactive, the PVC(s) with UBR will utilizethat bandwidth while it
is available. UBR is intended for applicationsthat do not require anymaximum
bound on the transfer delay.
l CBR: When a PVC is specified as a CBR (Constant Bit Rate), that PVC is
guaranteed a certain bandwidth, characterized bythe PeakCell Rate (PCR). The
CBR does not have to transmit with a peak cell rate, and when it does, it is only
when the bandwidth specified bythe PCR is guaranteed.
l VBR-nrt: An PVC enabled with VBR-nrt (Variable Bit Rate - non realtime) can
transmit acell only ifthe PVC has atoken available. The PVC accumulates tokens
at the rate of the Sustainable Cell Rate, and the PVC can onlyaccumulate a
maximum of the value specified byMaximum Burst Size tokens.
When a PVC has a token available, it can transmit cells at the rate ofPCR. After a cell is
transmitted, the PVC loses the token it has accumulated.
In the case of multiple PVCs, CBR specified PVCs will have higher priority than
PVCs with UBR. For example, the CBR PVCs will take their bandwidth and the
remaining bandwidth will be split among the UBR PVCs. In the case oftotal PVC CBR
bandwidth exceeding ADSLupstream, the total upstream bandwidth will be shared
proportionallyto the bandwidth allocated for each CBR PVC.
Peak Cell Rate: This value specifies the maximum, and in some cases guaranteed, cell
rate for CBR and VBR-nrt. Peak Cell Rates are typicallymeasured in Cells/Second,
however, the user entered value is in kbpsand is then converted bythe firmware.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0
Sustainable Cell Rate: It is the sustained rate at which a PVC enabled with VBR-nrt can
transmit ATM cells. Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) can be considered as the true reserved
bandwidth for a PVC.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0
Max Burst Size: It is the number of cells a PVC enabled with VBR-nrt can transmit
continuouslyat peak cell rate (PCR).
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0

5
5.2.2DHCPClient
DHCPClient: It is to enable or disable (default) the Router WAN as a DHCPclient,
where the ISPwould be the DHCPserver. DHCPClient is generallyused in the following
encapsulations: 1483 Bridged IPLLC, 1483 Routed IPLLC, 1483 Bridged IPVC-MUX,
1483 Routed IPVC-Mux, and Classical IPover ATM. This option is for non-static
(dynamic) IPaddresses.
Host Name: When DHCPClient is Enabled, copythe ISPrecognized Host Name here.
The Host Name can be up to 19 characters.
5.2.3MAC Spoofing
MAC Spoofing: Enable MAC Spoofing to make a different MAC Address appear on the
WANside. This is also used to solve the scenario where the ISPonly recognizes one
MAC Address. System default is Disable.
MACAddress: When MAC Spoofing is enabled, copythe ISP-recognized MAC address
here. Format for MAC address is sixpairs ofhexadecimal numbers (0-9, A-F) separated
bycolons. System default is: 00:00:00:00:00:00.
5.2.4Static IPSettings
Static IPSettings are for users who have a Static IPAddress (WAN side) from their ISP.
IPAddress: It is the static IPAddress given bythe ISP.
Range: x.x.x.y,where 0 ≤x≤255 and 1 ≤y≤254 Default: 192.168.241.101
Subnet Mask: It is the subnet mask given bythe ISP.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255 Default: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: It is the Gatewaygiven bythe ISP.
Range: x.x.x.y,where 0 ≤x≤255 and 1 ≤y≤254 Default: 0.0.0.0

1
5.3 LANConfiguration
The LAN configuration page allows you to set the configuration for the LAN port.
LAN IP Address & Subnet Mask: The LAN IPAddress is what the computer uses to
identifyand communicate with the Router (this is the address you enter in the address
bar ofInternet Explorer to access these pages). You can change this to another private IP
address and subnet mask, such as 192.168.1.2 and 255.255.255.0.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255
Default is 10.0.0.2 and 255.0.0.0 (respectively)
5.3.1DHCPServer
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that allows
network administratorsto manage and assign IPaddressesto computers within the
network. DHCPprovides a unique address to a computer in the network which enablesit
to connect to the Internet through Internet Protocol (IP). DHCPis controlled bythe DHCP
Server.The following settings allowyou to configure the DHCPserver.
DHCPServer: Select Enabled (default) to activate DHCPServer.
DHCP Address Pool Selection: Two types ofAddressPool selections are available,
with System Allocated as the default.
l System Allocated: The DHCPaddresspool is based on LAN port IPaddress plus
12 IPaddresses. For example, when the LANIPaddress is 10.0.0.2; the DHCP
address pool the range from 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.14.
l User Defined: When User Defined is selected, the DHCPaddresspool starts at the
User Defined Start Address and ends at the User Defined End Address. The

2
maximum pool size can be 253 IPaddresses: 255 total IPaddresses - 1 broadcast
address - 1 LAN port IPaddress.
User Defined Start Address: It is the starting IPaddressofthe DHCPpool for User
Defined DHCPAddress Pool Selection.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255 Default: 10.0.0.4
User Defined End Address: It is the last IPaddress in the DHCPpool for User Defined
DHCPAddress Pool Selection.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255 Default: 10.0.0.15
DHCPGatewaySelection: The default setting for the DHCPGatewaySelection is
Automatic.You can select User Defined and specify User Defined Gateway Address.
The DHCPserver will issue the User DefinedGateway Address to the LAN DHCP
clients.
User Defined Gateway Address: The purpose for the User Defined Gateway Address is
to have two gatewayaddresses, as the LAN IPAddress at the top of the LAN
Configuration page isalso a gatewayaddress.
Lease time: The Lease time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed to
connect with DHCPserver. Ifall fields are 0, the allocated IPaddresses will be effective
forever.
Ranges for Lease Time fields: Days 0-36500, Hours 0-23, Minutes 0-59, Seconds 0-59,
default value is 1 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds.
User mode: Under the Single User mode, the DHCPserver onlyallocatesone IP
address to a local PC. Under the Multiple User mode (default), the DHCPserver
allocatesthe IPaddresses specified bythe DHCPaddress pool.
Save Configuration: Clicking this will link you to the Save Settings / Reboot page.
5.3.2Ethernet Mode Setting
The Ethernet Mode configuration page allowsyou to set the LAN port into the following
modes:
l AutoSense (default): The Router will automaticallysense which mode to use,
selecting between 100 Mbps Full Duplex, 100 Mbps HalfDuplex, 10 Mbps Full
Duplex, and 10 MbpsHalfDuplex.
