using PPP encapsulation. This greatly simplifies the configuration
procedure.

1

On the main page, click on

If your service provider has specified a VPI/VCI number to use, enter
the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields.

provider.

Set

. This will set the new VPI/VCI parameters on the router .

Refresh

after a minute or two to see the new configuration.

RFC 1483 Configuration

There are two types of RFC 1483 encapsulation that can be used: RFC
1483 bridged and RFC 1483 routed.

RFC 1483 Routed encapsulation operates at the IP layer and will route
only IP packets. RFC 1483 bridged encapsulation method handles non-IP
packets, which the unit supports only while configured for use as a bridge.
The method you will use depends on the configuration parameters
specified by your internet service provider.

The procedure that follows assumes that you have a unit that is configured
with factory defaults.

To configure the modem via HTML:

1

On the main page, look in the Configuration Summary table and click
on the title

Encapsulation Protocol

.

2

If your service provider has specified a different VPI/VCI number to
use, enter the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields. Otherwise, enter the
default VPI and VCI values.

3

Select the desired RFC 1483 encapsulation.
