not connected to anADSLvendor,then ‘UNUSED_VENDOR_0 will appear in thisfield.
Elapsed Time: It displays the time ofthe Router has been in operation. This is theamount oftime the
Router is on,notthe amount oftime it is connected to the PC or in showtime status.
Atable contained the information of SNR Margin, LineAttenuation, Errored Seconds, Loss of Signal,
Loss of Frame, CRCErrors, Data Rate, and Latency is also available.
SNR Margin: Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is the measure ofsignalintensityrelative to the background

8
noise. The SNR Margin is the amount ofincreased noise that can be tolerated while maintaining the
designatedBER (bit error rate). The SNR Margin is set byCentral Office DSLAM. Ifthe SNRMargin is
increased, bit error rate performance will improve, but the data ratewill decrease. Conversely,ifthe SNR
Margin is decreased, bit error rate performance will decrease, but the datarate will increase.
Line Attenuation: Attenuation is the decrease in magnitude oftheADSLlinesignal between the
transmitter (Central Office DSLAM) and the receiver (ClientADSLBridge/Router), measured in dB. It is
measured bycalculating the difference in dB between the signal power level receivedat the ClientADSL
Bridge/Router andthereference signal power level transmitted fromthe CentralOffice DSLAM.
Errored Seconds: During Showtime, ifanygiven second contains a CRC error,then that second will be
declared and recorded as an ErroredSecond.
Loss of Signal: Loss ofsignal refers to theADSLBridge/Router losing anADSLsignal, not the computer
losing a signal with the modem. Loss ofSignal event is onlyrecorded ifthe signal is lost while theADSL
Bridge/Router is in showtime status. This field displaysthe count ofADSLsignal loss events.
Loss of Frame: A frameis a unit ofdatain ATM. This fielddisplaysthe count ofADSLframeloss events. A
Loss ofFrame event is only recorded ifthe signal is lost while theADSLBridge/Router is in showtime
status.
CRC Errors: Cyclic RedundancyCheck(CRC) is a method for checking errors indata transmissions. This
field displays the number oftransmit data frames containing CRC errors.
Data Rate: This field displaystheADSLdata rateinkbps.
Latency: Latency, synonymouslydelay,is the amount oftime it takes for a packet ofdata to get fromone
designated point to another.This field displays the two mapping modes for latency (fast and interleaved).

Bridge Mode: BridgeMode is usedwhen there is one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet port. IEEE
802.1D method oftransportbridging 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 usedwhen there is more than one PC connected to theLAN-side Ethernet
port. This enables theADSLWAN access to be sharedwith multiple nodes on the LAN. NetworkAddress
Translation (NAT) is supported so that oneWAN-side IPaddress can be shared among multiple LAN-side
devices. DHCPis used toserve each LAN-side device and IP address.

10
PPPHalf Bridge: Althoughthe Router mode is capable ofterminatingthePPPin the modemand hence
does not require PPPoE client software on the host PC, thereare some disadvantages to Router mode
when onlysingle-user support is required. For instance, Router mode uses NAT which requiresALG
support. PPPHalfBridge also terminates the PPPin the modemand does notrequire aPPPoE client on
the PC.However,PPP HalfBridgedoes notuseNATand is notlimited byALGs. PPP HalfBridgewill work
with Ethernetinterface to the PC.
Single-User Mode: Onlyone computer is connected at the LAN side through Ethernet.
Multi-User Mode: Multiple computers are connectedat the LANsidethrough Ethernet.
5.2 WAN Configuration
The WANconfiguration page allowsyou to set the configuration for the WAN/ADSLports. Before you
enter the WANConfiguration page, youwill be asked to select an adapter (PVC0 throughPVC7) 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 ofthe page in parenthesis. Default is Enabledfor PVC0 and Disabled for PVC1-PVC7.
Bridge: Enable to connect the LAN to theWAN (bridge thetwo connections). This is available in Bridge
Modeonly(see Table 5-2). Default is Disabled.

11
IGMP: IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol) relay/proxyspecification and environment, default is
Disabled.IGMPis availablein 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 relay these IGMPqueries toEthernet.
l End-user multicast application device sends IGMPreport while receiving IGMPqueryor being
activated bythe user.The Router should be responsible to proxy(thatis, change source IPto
Router sWAN IP) the IGMPreport toADSLWAN side, including all PVCs. The same case is for
IGMPleave packet.
l Not necessaryto relaymulticast routing between twoADSLPVCs or twointerfaces in LAN side.
l Special purpose multicast packet (such as RIP2 packet) should run withoutInterference.

Encapsulation: The different types ofencapsulation include PPPoAVC-Mux, PPPoALLC, 1483 Bridged
IPLLC,1483 Routed IPLLC, 1483 Bridged IPVC-Mux, 1483Routed IPVC-Mux,Classical IPover ATM,
PPPoE VC-Mux, PPPoE LLC, and PPPoENone.
5.2.1 ATM
VPI: VirtualPath 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: 0-255Default: 0
VCI: AVirtual Channel Identifier is a virtual channel that is identified bya uniquenumerical tag that is
definedbya 16-bit field in the ATM cell header.The purpose ofthe virtual channel is to identifywherethe
cell should travel. The VCI field specifies this 16 bit numerical tag that determines the destination.
Range: 0-65535 Default: 35
Service Category: This field allowsyou to select fromthe following servicecategories.
l UBR (default): When configured as UBR(Unspecified BitRate), traffic is deliveredwith best
efforts but with no guarantee. This allows for fluctuation in times of temporaryincrease ofavailable
bandwidth. For example, ifaPVC with CBR is temporarilyinactive, the PVC(s) withUBR will utilize
that bandwidth while it is available. UBR is intendedfor applications thatdo not require any
maximumbound on the transfer delay.
l CBR: When a PVC is specified as a CBR (ConstantBitRate), that PVC is guaranteed a certain
bandwidth, characterizedbythe PeakCell Rate (PCR). The CBR does nothave to transmit with a
peakcell rate, and when it does, it is onlywhen the bandwidth specified by the PCRis guaranteed.
l VBR-nrt: An PVC enabled with VBR-nrt (Variable Bit Rate - non real time) can transmit a cell only
ifthe PVC has a token available. The PVC accumulates tokens at the rate oftheSustainable Cell

12
Rate, and the PVC can only accumulate amaximumofthe value specifiedby MaximumBurst Size
tokens.
When a PVC has a token available, it can transmit cells at the rate ofPCR.After acell is transmitted, the
PVCloses the token it has accumulated.
In the case ofmultiple PVCs, CBR specified PVCs will have higher priority than PVCs with UBR.
For example, the CBRPVCs will take their bandwidth and the remaining bandwidth will be split among
the UBR PVCs. In the caseoftotal PVC CBR bandwidth exceedingADSLupstream, the total upstream
bandwidthwill be sharedproportionallyto the bandwidth allocated for eachCBR PVC.
Peak Cell Rate: This value specifies themaximum, and insome cases guaranteed, cell ratefor CBR and
VBR-nrt. PeakCell Rates are typicallymeasured inCells/Second, however,theuser entered value is in
kbps and is then converted bythe firmware.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0
SustainableCellRate: Itis the sustainedrate at which a PVCenabled withVBR-nrt can transmit ATM
cells. SustainableCell Rate(SCR) can be considered as the true reserved bandwidth for a PVC.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0
Max Burst Size: It is thenumber ofcells a PVC enabled with VBR-nrt can transmit continuouslyat peak
cell rate (PCR).
Range: 0-32767 Default: 0
5.2.2 DHCP Client
DHCP Client: It is to enable or disable (default) theRouter WAN as aDHCP client,where the ISP would be
the DHCPserver. DHCPClientis generallyused in thefollowingencapsulations: 1483 BridgedIPLLC,
1483Routed 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, copytheISPrecognized Host Name here. The Host Name
can be up to 19 characters.
5.2.3 MAC Spoofing
MAC Spoofing: Enable MAC Spoofing to make a different MACAddress appearon the WAN side. This is
also used tosolve the scenario where the ISPonlyrecognizes oneMAC Address. Systemdefault is
Disable.
MACAddress: When MACSpoofing is enabled,copythe ISP-recognized MAC address here. Format for
MAC address is six pairs ofhexadecimal numbers (0-9, A-F) separatedbycolons. Systemdefault is:
00:00:00:00:00:00.
5.2.4 Static IP Settings
Static IPSettings are for users who have a Static IP Address (WAN side) fromtheir ISP.
IP Address: It is the static IPAddress given bythe ISP.
Range: x.x.x.y,where 0 ≤x≤255 and 1 ≤y≤254Default: 192.168.241.101
Subnet Mask: It is the subnet maskgiven bythe ISP.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255Default: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: It is theGateway givenbythe ISP.

13
Range: x.x.x.y,where 0 ≤x≤255 and 1 ≤y≤254Default: 0.0.0.0
5.3 LAN Configuration
The LAN configurationpage allowsyou to set the configuration for the LANport.
LANIP Address & SubnetMask: The LAN IP Address is what the computer uses to identifyand
communicate with the Router (this is the address you enter in the address bar ofInternetExplorer to
access these pages). You can change this to another private IPaddress and subnet mask, such as
192.168.1.2 and255.255.255.0.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255
Default is 10.0.0.2 and 255.0.0.0(respectively)
5.3.1 DHCP Server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that allows network
administrators to manage and assign IPaddresses tocomputers within the network. DHCPprovides a
unique address to a computer in the networkwhichenables it to connect totheInternet through Internet
Protocol (IP). DHCPis controlled bythe DHCPServer. The following settings allowyou to configure the
DHCPserver.
DHCPServer: Select Enabled (default) to activate DHCPServer.
DHCP Address Pool Selection: Two types ofAddress Pool selections are available, with System
Allocated as the default.
l SystemAllocated: The DHCPaddress pool is basedon LAN port IPaddress plus 12 IPaddresses.
For example, when the LAN IPaddress is 10.0.0.2; the DHCPaddress pool the rangefrom10.0.0.3
to 10.0.0.14.
l User Defined: When User Defined is selected, the DHCPaddress pool starts at the User Defined
Start Address and ends at the User Defined EndAddress. The maximumpool sizecan be253 IP
addresses: 255 total IPaddresses - 1 broadcast address - 1 LAN port IPaddress.
User Defined Start Address: It is the starting IPaddress ofthe DHCPpool for User Defined DHCP

Address Pool Selection.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255Default: 10.0.0.4
User Defined End Address: It is the last IPaddress in theDHCPpool for User Defined DHCP Address
PoolSelection.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤x≤255Default: 10.0.0.15
DHCPGatewaySelection: The default setting for theDHCPGatewaySelection is Automatic. You can
select User Defined and specify User Defined Gateway Address.
The DHCPserver will issuethe User Defined Gateway Address to the LAN DHCPclients.
User Defined Gateway Address: The purpose for the User DefinedGatewayAddress is to have two
gatewayaddresses, as the LAN IPAddress atthetop ofthe LAN Configuration page is also a gateway
address.
Lease time: The Lease time is the amount oftime a networkuser will beallowed to connect with DHCP
server. Ifall fields are0, theallocated IPaddresses will be effective forever.
Rangesfor LeaseTime fields: Days0-36500,Hours 0-23,Minutes 0-59,Seconds0-59,defaultvalueis 1
days0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds.
User mode: Under the Single User mode, the DHCP server onlyallocates one IP address to a local PC.
Under the Multiple User mode (default), the DHCPserver allocates the IPaddresses specified bythe
DHCPaddress pool.
Save Configuration: Clicking this will link you to the Save Settings / Reboot page.
5.3.2 Ethernet Mode Setting
The Ethernet Modeconfigurationpage allowsyou to set the LAN port into the following modes:
l AutoSense (default): The Router will automatically sense which mode to use,selectingbetween100
Mbps Full Duplex, 100 Mbps HalfDuplex, 10 Mbps Full Duplex, and 10 Mbps HalfDuplex.
l 100 Mbps Full Duplex: Data can be transferred and received simultaneouslyat the transfer rate of
100 Mega-bits per second.
l 100 Mbps Half Duplex: Data cannot be transferred and received at the same time. For example,
data can besent, andoncethe transmission is complete, data canbe received.This is doneat a
transfer rate of100 Mega-bits per second.
l 10 Mbps Full Duplex: Data can be transferred and received simultaneouslyat the transfer rate of10
Mega-bits per second.
l 10 Mbps Half Duplex: Data cannot be transferred and received at the same time. For example, data
can be sent, and once the transmission is complete,data can be received. This isdone at a transfer
rate of10 Mega-bitsper second.
