– TR-064-LAN-side DSL CPE configuration

 Remote update

 System statistics and monitoring

 DSL router is targeted at the following platforms: DSL modem and bridge.

3.2 Setup

Connecting your computer or home network to the DSL router is a simple

procedure, varying slightly depending on the operating system. This chapter

guides you to seamlessly integrate DSL router with your computer or home

network. The Windows default network settings dictate that in most cases the setup

procedure described as follows is unnecessary. For example, the default DHCP

setting in Windows 2000 is 'client', requiring no further modification. However, it is

advised to follow the setup procedure described as follows to verify that all

communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable connections are

correct. The setup procedure consists of three consecutive configuration stages:

Figure 1 Hardware configuration

(1) Setting up WAN and LAN connections

(2) PC network configuration

(3) DSL router quick setup, via Web-based management

3.2.1 Setting Up WAN and LAN Connections

WAN Connection

Your can connect DSL interface of the router to the wall socket by using a

telephone cable. If it has an Ethernet socket for the wide area network (WAN),

connect it to the external modem you have, or to the Ethernet socket you might

have, by using an Ethernet cable.

LAN Connection

The connection is Ethernet, with most platforms featuring four such ports. Use an

Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port of your DSL router and the network card

of your computer.

3.2.2 PC Network Configuration

Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically

defined IP address and DNS address, or be instructed to automatically obtain an IP

address using the network DHCP server. DSL router provides a DHCP server on

its LAN and it is recommended to configure your LAN to automatically obtain its IP

address and DNS server IP address.

The configuration principle is identical but should be carried out differently on each

operating system.

The following displays the TCP/IP Properties dialog box as it appears on Windows

XP.

4.3.2.1 Adding a PPPoE WAN Configuration

In the WAN Service Setup page, click Add to add WAN configuration. This section

describes the procedure for adding pppoe_0_0_32 (PPPoE mode).

Step 1 Click Add to turn into the following page. (At first, you must add suitable

ATM configuration for this WAN configuration.) In this page, you can

select ATM Interface .

Step 2 After proper selection, click Next, and the following page appears.

Step 3 In this page, select WAN service type PPP over Ethernet(PPPoE). Click

Next, and the following page appears.

Step 4 In this page, you can modify the PPP username, PPP password, and

authentication method.

 PPP Username: The correct user name that your ISP provides to you.

 PPP Password: The correct password that your ISP provides to you.

 PPPoE Service Name: If your ISP provides it to you, please enter it. If not,

do not enter any information.

 Authentication Method: The value can be AUTO, PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAP.

Usually, you can select AUTO.

 Enable Fullcone NAT: A full cone NAT is one where all requests from the

same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP

address and port. Furthermore, any external host can send a packet to the

internal host, by sending a packet to the mapped external address.

 Dial on demand (with idle timeout timer): If this function is enabled, you

need to enter the idle timeout time. Within the preset minutes, if the modem

does not detect the flow of the user continuously, the modem automatically

stops the PPPOE connection. Once it detects the flow (like access to a

webpage), the modem restarts the PPPoE dialup. If this function is disabled,

the modem performs PPPoE dial-up all the time. The PPPoE connnection

does not stop, unless the modem is powered off and DSLAM or uplink

equipment is abnormal.

 PPP IP extension: After PPP IP extension is enabled, the WAN IP address

obtained by the modem through built-in dial-up can be directly assigned to

the PC being attached with the modem (at this time, the modem has only

one PC). From the view of the PC user, this is even with that the PC dials up

to obtain an IP addres. But actually, the dial-up is done by the modem. If this

function is disabled, the modem itself obtains the WAN IP address

automatically.

 Use Static IPv4 Address: If this function is disabled, the modem obtains an

IP address assigned by an uplink equipment such as BAS, through PPPoE

dial-up. If this function is enabled, the modem uses this IP address as the

WAN IP address.

 IGMP Multicast: IGMP proxy. For example, if you want PPPoE mode to

support IPTV, enable it.

After enter the PPP Username and PPP Password, click Next, and the following

page appears.

Step 5 In this page, select a preferred WAN interface as the system default

gateway. Click Next, and the following page appears.

Step 6 In this page, you can get DNS server information from the selected WAN

interface or enter static DNS server IP addresses. If only a single PVC

with IPoA or static MER protocol is configured, you must enter static

DNS server IP addresses. Click Next, and the following page appears.

Step 7 In this page, it shows all the configurations. Click Apply/Save to all the

configurations, and the following page appears. Click Back to make any

modifications.
