DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide
Quick Configuration
The Quick Configuration displays the settings you are most likely to need to change when you first set up the
Router. These settings are explained briefly below:
ATM Interface
Select the ATM interface you want to use (use atm-0 for a single
ATM interface). Your system may be configured with more than one
ATM interface if you are using different types of services with your
ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.
Operation Mode
This setting enables or disables the device's Internet and routing
functions. When set to "No", the device cannot be used to provide
Internet connectivity for your network.
Encapsulation
This setting determines the type of data link used to communicate
with your ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.
VPI and VCI
These settings determine the unique data path your modem uses to
communicate with your ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.
Bridge
This setting enables or disables bridging between the device and
your ISP. Your ISPs may also refer to this using "RFC 1483" or
"Ethernet over ATM". See Bridging.
IGMP
This setting enables or disables the Internet Group Management
Protocol, which some ISPs use to perform remote configuration of
your device.
IP Address and Subnet
Mask
If your ISP has assigned a public IP address to your LAN, enter the
address and the associated subnet mask in the boxes provided.
Check with your ISP to get this information. You may have to use the
public IP address for your computer. In this case you do not enter the
IP address here but configure these settings for your computer.
Default Route
When enabled, this setting specifies that the IP address specified
above will be used as the default route for your LAN. Whenever, one
of your LAN computers attempts to access the Internet, the data will
be sent via the WAN interface.
Gateway IP Address
Specify the IP address that identifies the ISP server through which
your Internet connection will be routed.
Username and Password
Enter the username and password you use to log in to your ISP.
(Note: this is not the same as the user name and password you used
to log in to Web Configuration Manager.)
Use DNS
Click Enable to turn on the DNS forwarding service, which forwards
to your LAN PCs the Domain Name System server addresses that
your PPP connection learns from your ISP. This option can only be
used when the Router is configured to act as a DHCP server for your
PCs.
If you click Disable, you must configure DNS addresses manually on
each PC or in the fields below.
Primary/Secondary DNS
Enter the Primary and Secondary DNS server addresses provided by
your ISP.
Click the Submit button to save the settings in temporary memory. When you are done making changes to the
configuration settings, open the Commit & Reboot menu and click the Commit button to save your changes to
permanent memory.
You can click the Delete button to remove all existing Quick Configuration settings and return to the default
values.
