Section Three - Configure the PCs
3.1ConfigureyourPC.
The instructions in this section will help you to configure each
computer to communicate with the Router.
To do this, you need to configure your PC’s network settings to
obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP of the router.
Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other
across a network, such as the Internet.
ForWindows98/ME
1. Go to the Network screen by clicking the Start button. Click
Settings and then Control Panel. From there, double-click the
Networkicon.
2. On the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP line for the
applicable Ethernet adapter. Then, click the Properties button.

your PC)
Notes:
1. Under MS-DOS mode, you can type ipconfig to check your
IP address. (to renew IP: ipconfig /renew )
2. You may have to disable the proxy settings on your Internet
browser .
Tools>Internet Options>Connection>LAN
settings>Disable Proxy Server
3. Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly .
For Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the
Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is set to Never
dialaconnection.

4.3.4LANConfiguration.
The LAN page allows user to set the configuration for the LAN port.
IP Address/Subnet: LAN address and subnet mask of the router. It
can be specified if you need. (e.g. 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0)
DHCP Server
System Allocated: The DHCP address pool is based on LAN port IP
address plus 12 IP addresses. For example, the LAN IP address is
10.0.0.2; the DHCP address pool is at the range of 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.14
User Defined: The DHCP address pool is at the range of User Defined
Start Address and User Defined End Address Address. The maximum
pool size can be 253 IP addresses: 255 total IP addresses - 1 broadcast
address - 1 LAN port IP address.
Lease time: The Lease time is the amount of time of a network user will
be allowed to connect with DHCP server. If all fields are 0, the allocated
IP addresses will be effective forever.
User mode: Under the Single User mode, the DHCP server only
allocates one IP address to local PC. Under the Multiple User mode, the
DHCP server allocates the IP addresses spececified bye the DHCP
address pool.

4.3.5PPPConfiguration
The ppp page allows user to set the sesstion name for PVCs.
Showtime Firmware Version: This field displays the Conexant ADSL data
pump firmware version number.
ADSL Line Status: This field displays the ADSL connection process and
status.
ADSL Modulation: This field displays the ADSL modulation status for
G.dmt or T1.413.
ADSL Annex Mode: This field displays the ADSL annex modes for Annex
A or Annex B.
ADSL Startup Attempts: This field displays the ADSL connection attempts
after loss of showtime.
ADSL Max Tx Power: This field displays the transmit output power level of
the CPE.
ADSL CO Vendor: This field displays the Central Office DSLAM vendor
name, if available.
Elapsed Time: This field displays the time of the modem has been in
operation.
SNR Margin: Amount of increased noise that can be tolerated while
maintaining the designed BER (bit error rate). The SNR Margin is set by
Central Office DSLAM. If the SNR Margin is increased, bit error rate
performance will improve, but the data rate will decrease. Conversely, if
the SNR Margin is decreased, bit error rate performance will decrease, but
the data rate will increase.
Line Attenuation: Attenuation is the decrease in magnitude of the ADSL
line signal between the transmitter (Central Office DSLAM) and the
receiver (Client ADSL Modem), measured in dB. It is measured by
calculating the difference in dB between the signal power level received at
the Client ADSL modem and the reference signal power level transmitted
from the Central Office DSLAM.

4.3.6NATConfiguration
The NAT page allows users to set the configuration for the Network
Address Translation.
NAT Configuration
The NAT option only maps single WAN IP address to the local PC IP
address. It is peer-to-peer mapping. (1x1) For each PVC, only one local PC
IP address can be associated with each WAN PVC. Click the link Session
Name Configuration to add the session name for each PVC.
Q: Since only one PVC is mapped to one local PC IP address, why can I
input more than one IP address for one NAT session?
A: Even though you can, only the first IP address of each session takes effect.
NAPT Configuration
The NAPT option maps the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the WAN
PVC to the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the local PCs. (1xN). It is the
multiple-mapping mechanism. More than one local PC can be associated
with one WAN PVC.
Dynamic NAPT:The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic
Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN
connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN
connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table. This
eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between
multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections. When the Dynamic
NAPT is chosen, there is no need to configure the NAT Session and NAT
Session Name Configuration.
