Testing your Setup

Once you have connected your hardware and configured your PCs, any computer on your LAN should be able to use the device’s DSL connection to access the Internet.

To test the connection, turn on the device, wait for 30 seconds and then verify that the LEDs are illum inated as follo ws:

Solid green to indicate that the device is turned on. If this light is not on, check the power cable attachment.

Flashing on/off while the device is booting. After about 1015 seconds, solid green to indicate that the device can communicate with your LAN.

Flashing on/off while data is being transmitted. Solid green to indicate that the device has successfully established a connection with your ISP.

Flashing on/off while data is being transferred. Solid green when a valid IP address has been assigned to the device by the ISP.

If the LEDs illuminate as expe cted, test yo ur Internet connecti on from a LAN computer. To do this, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such as

http://www.yahoo.com

). The LED labeled INTERNET should blink rapidly and then appear solid as the device connects to the site.

If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to configure your Internet access setti ngs usi ng the info rmation provided by your ISP. For details, see Internet Access. If the LEDs still do not illuminate as expected or the web page is n ot displayed, see Troubleshooting Suggestions or contact your ISP for assistance.

Default device settings

In addition to handling the DSL connect ion to y our ISP , the DSL Modem can provide a variety of se rvices t o your net work. Th e device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network.

The table below lists some of the m ost importa nt default settings; these and other features are described fu lly in the subs equent chapters. If you are familiar with network configurat ion, revie w these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary.

9 Internet Access

This chapter describes how to config ure the way that your device connects to the Internet. Your ISP determines what type of Internet access you should use and provides you with any information that you need in order to co nfigure the I nternet access to your device.

Your device needs the following address information in order to access the Internet:

ATM PVC To configure ATM PVC, enter the VPI

and VCI provided by ISP. Select the Service Type Index, Service Cate gory and enter the following information:

• Peak Cell Rate

• Sustainable Cell Rate

• Maximum Burst Size

Connection Type To configure the connection type, select

the protocol and encapsulation type as indicated by ISP. Supported Protocol types are:

• RFC1483 Bridged

• RFC1483 MER

• PPPoE

• PPPoA

• RFC1483 Routed

Supported Encapsulation types are:

• VCMUX

• LLC/SNAP

WAN IP Settings To configure WAN IP settings, enter the

information as indicated by ISP. Enable/Disable the Access Concentrator option. Either enter the WAN IP or select the option to automatically obtain IP address.

Check as applicable the following two options:

• Enable NAT

• Add default Route

Broadband Username and Password

To configure Broadband Username and Password, enter the user name and password details. Also set the session establishment condition as one of the following:

• Continuous

Wireless ADSL2+ Router User’s Guide

• Connect on demand. Enter the minutes after which the sessio n must be disconnected, if no activity takes place.

• Manual. Enter the minutes after which the session must be disconnected, if no activity takes place.

In most cases, you will not need to configure your device with these addresses because your ISP is likely to use an Internet access type which automatically assigns addresses to your device. For more information, se e Types of Internet Access.

Types of Internet Access

The types of Internet access available are as follows:

• PPP Internet access – your device uses a Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use PPP Internet access, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISP’s Internet service are automatically configure d.

Your device supports PPPoE (over Ethernet).

Your device supports PPPoA (over ATM).

• Bridged Internet access – your device uses a B ridge mode with yo u r P P P o E C l i e n t Software to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use Bridged Internet access with your P PPoE Client Software, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISP’s Internet service are automatically configure d.

Your device supports RFC 1483 Bridged Mode).

Wireless ADSL2+ Router User’s Guide

Configuring your PPPoE DSL connection

If your ISP’s Internet service uses PPPoE you need to set up a PPP login account. The first time that you login to the Internet, your ISP will ask you to enter a username and password so they can check that you are a l egitimat e, registe red Int ernet service user. Your device stores these authenti cation detail s, so you will not have to enter this username and password every time you login.

Your ISP may also tell you to set unique path and circuit numbers (called VPI and VCI) in order to connect your device to the ISP’s Internet service. In most ca ses, your dev ice will u se default settings, so you may not need to enter these values.

Note

Your ISP will provide you with the login details and VPI/VCI values necessary to set up a PPP login account.

If your ISP wants you to connect to the Internet using PPP, follow the instructions below.

WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Mixed + Personal (Pre-Shared Key)

Wi-Fi Protected A cces s (WP A) is a cla ss o f syst ems t o se cure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA/WPA2 imple ments the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues:

• WPA/WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation inst ructi ons.

Access Control

For security reason, using MAC ACL's (MAC Address Access List) creates another level of difficulty to hacki ng a network. A MAC ACL is created and distributed to AP so that only authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MA C address spoofing is a proven means to hacking a network this can be used in conjunction with additional security measures to increase the level of complexity of the network se curity decreasing the chance of a breach.

MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the ACL list depending on the MAC Access Policy.

On this page you can allow or deny access to your wireless network based off the client s MAC a ddress. Choo se "Allo wed Listed" and only the clients whos e MAC addre sses are in the access control list will be able to connect. When "Deny Listed" i s selected, the wireless clients on thi s list will not be able to connect to the access point. To access the Wireless Network Access Control page:
