MANAGED, HIGH-SPEED NETWORK MODEM USER GUIDE
14 TUT SYSTEMS 7.0 CONFIGURE THE MODEM
5. The XL-12000S units are now configured and the front panel
indicators for the DSL link LED should start blinking as soon as
the Master and Slave DSL ports are connected. If the DSL link
LED does not blink, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
6. When link LEDs are solid green (after several minutes) the pair
of modems are operational in bridging mode.
7.2 Detailed Procedures
If the “Quick Start” configuration is not sufficient for your use, this
section provides details on how to configure the XL-12000S to meet
your needs. First decide whether to use each of the XL-12000S units
in the pair as a bridge or a router. There are four bridging/routing
options. In many cases networking needs can be met with basic bridg-
ing. This is option one. Some of the more complex network configu-
rations require options two through four. Other parts of this section
describe how to configure and manage the modem. After configuring
your XL-12000S modems you will want to secure it with a password.
Password protection is described later in section 7.2.3.7.
7.2.1 Choosing the Appropriate Bridging/
Routing Option
There are four routing and bridging options:
• Basic Bridging
• IP Routing Only
• Bridge Non-IP
• Block Packets
Illustrated over the next few pages are two bridging configurations,
two routing configurations, one bridging non-IP configuration, and
an explanation of the Block Packets option.
Note: IP addresses are used only as examples in the illustrations.
