described on the next page.
12
STATIC IP MODE
In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.
Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating
systems (OS). C heck your O S supp ort do cumenta tion fo r f urthe r de ta ils .
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window , open Local Area Connection (You
may also access this scr een by double-click ing the Local Area Connection
icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Change the IP address to the domain of 192.168.1.x (1<x<255) with
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now displa y as below.
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.
13
3.3 Login Procedure
Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface.
NOTE: The default settings can be found in section 3.1.
STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for the device
in the Web address field. For example, if the default IP address is
192.168.1.1, type http://192.168.1.1.
NOTE: For local ad m in istration (i.e. LAN access), the PC running the bro w ser
must be attached to the Ethernet, and not necessarily to the device. For
remote access (i.e. WAN), use the IP address shown on the Quick Setup
After login, the Quick Setup screen will appear as shown.
NOTE: The selections a vailable on the main menu are based upo n the configured
connection type and user account privileges.
The Quick Setup screen allows the user to configure the CT-5364A for ADSL
connectivity and Internet access. It also guides the user though the WAN network
setup first and then the LAN interface setup. You can either do this manually or
follow the auto quick setup (i.e. DSL Auto-connect) instructions.
This router supports the fol low in g data enca psu l at ion methods.
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
• PPP over A TM ( P PPoA)
• MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER)
• IP over ATM (IPoA)
• ridging
14
The following configuration considerations apply:
• The WAN network operating mode operation depends on the service provider’s
configuration in the Central Office and roadband Access Server for the PVC
• If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection
depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a PC) is running a PPPoE
client or whether the router is to run the PPPoE client. The router can support
both cases simulta ne ously.
• If none of the LAN-side devices run PPPoE clients, then select PPPoE.
• NAT and firewall can be enabled or disabled by the user in router modes (PPPoE,
PPPoA, MER or IPoA) and they are always disabled with ridge mode.
• Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAT and firewall are
enabled or disabled, the main menu will display or hide NAT and Firewall.
NOTE: Up to sixteen PVC profiles can be configured and saved on the flash
memory. To activate a particular PVC profile, you need to navigate all the
Quick Setup pages until the last summary page, then click on the Finish
button and reboot the system.
3.4 Auto Quick Setup
The auto quick setup requires the ADSL link to be up. The ADSL router will
automatically detect the PVC, so just follow the easy online instructions.
STEP 1: Select Quick Setup to display this screen.
STEP 2: Click Next to sta rt t h e set up pro ce s s. Follow the online instructions to
complete the settings. This procedure will skip some processes such as
the PVC index and encapsulation mode selection.
STEP 3: After the settings are complete, you can use the ADSL service.
15
3.5 Manual Quick Setup
STEP 1: Click Quick Setup and un-tick the DSL Auto-connect checkbox to
enable manual configura t ion of the connect ion typ e.
STEP 2: Enter the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) an d Virtual Channel Iden tifier (VCI)
values. Select Enable Qualit y Of Serv ice if required and click Next.
16
STEP 3: Choose an Encapsulatio n mo de .
Choosing different connection types provides different encapsulation modes.
• PPPoA- VC /M U X, LLC/ENCAPSULATION
• PPPoE- LLC/SNAP RIDGING, VC/MUX
• MER- LLC/SNAP-RIDGING, VC/MUX
• IPoA- LLC/SNAP-ROUTING, VC MUX
• ridging- LLC/SNAP-RIDGING, VC/MUX
NOTE: Subsections 4.2.1 - 4.2.4 describe the PVC setup procedure further.
Choosing different connection types pops up different settings requests.
Enter settings as directed by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
17
3.5.1 PPP over ATM (PPPoA) and
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
STEP 4: Select the PPP over ATM (PPPoA) or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) radio
button and click Next. The following screen appears.
PPP Username/PPP Password: The PPP Username and the PPP password
requirement are dependent on the particular requirements of the ISP or the ADSL
service provider. The WE user interface allows a maximum of 256 characters for
the PPP user name and a maximum of 32 characters for the PPP password.
PPPoE Service Name: For PPPoE service, PADI requests contain a service label.
Some PPPoE servers (or RAS) of ISP chec k this service labe l to make a connection.
Dial on Demand
The device can be configured to disco nnect if there is no act ivity for a period of time
by selecting this che ck bo x. When the checkbox is ticked, you must enter th e
inactivity timeout period. The timeout period ranges from 1 to 4320 minutes.
18
PPP IP Extension
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specially requires this setup, do not select it.
PPP IP Extension does the following:
• Allows only one PC on the LAN
• The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is
forwarded to the PC LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the
LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the
device has only a single I P address to assign to a LAN device.
• The device becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC
through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
• The device extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the
LAN PC. i.e. the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
• The device bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless
the packet is addressed to the device’s LAN IP address.
Enable NAT
If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this
checkbox. The NAT submenu will display after the next reboot. The user can then
configure NAT -related features. If a private IP address is not used on the LAN side,
this checkbox should not be selected so as to free up system resources.
Enable Fullcone NAT: Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same
internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port.
An external host can se nd a p acket to t he int erna l h ost, b y send ing a p acket to th e
mapped external address.
Enable Firewall
If the firewal l checkbo x is select ed, the Security sub menu wil l displa y after the ne xt
reboot. The user can then configure firewall features. If the firewall is not used,
this checkbox should not be selected so as to free up system resources.
Use Static IP Address
Unless your service provid er specially requires this setup, do not select it.
If selected, enter your static IP address.
Retry PPP password on authentication error
Tick the box to select.
Enable PPP Debug Mode
Enable the PPPoE debug mode. The system will put more PPP connection
information in System Log. This is used for debugging purposes.
Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports
If Enabled, the function can create a local PPPoE connection to the WAN side.
Fixed MTU
Select the checkbox to enable Fixed MTU and adjust the MTU value for WAN
Interface, PPPoE and PPPoA. Default values are 1492 for PPPoE and 1500 for
PPPoA.
19
STEP 5: Click Next to display the following screen.
Enable IGMP Multicast: Tick the checkbox to enable IGMP multicast (proxy).
IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) is a protocol used by IP hosts to report
their multicast group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast
routers.
Enable WAN Service:
Tick this item to enable the ATM service. Untick it to stop the ATM service.
Service Name: This is a user defined label.
STEP 6: Af ter ente r ing y our settings, se lect Next. The following screen appears.
