4. Setting up your Lynx L-210
This section will guide you through your Lynx L-210’s configuration. The Lynx L-210 is shipped with
a standard PPP configuration.
4.1 Log into your Lynx L-210
To configure your Lynx L-210, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point;
this is normal. Do not panic!. Continue following these directions. Type the default IP address
(192.168.1.1) Press the Enter key and the following screen, shown in Figure 1 will appear. The
default user name is admin (case sensitive) and the password is admin (case sensitive).
Note: Before setting up your Lynx L-210, make sure you have followed the easy start guide.
You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on
your browser. Also if you access the Lynx L-210, and instead of getting a login screen, the
browser instead displays a login redirection screen, you should check your browser's
setting, and verify that JavaScript support is enabled. Also, if you do not get the screen
shown in Figure 1, you may need to delete your temporary Internet files (basically flush the
cached web pages).
Figure 1 (Log-in screen)
4.2 Quick Start
The first screen (Figure 2) that appears (after the log in screen) is the Quick Start screen. By default
the Lynx L-210 has being configured to PPP connection and user would only need to enter the
username and password (as spec ified by the local ISP) to make connection to the inter net.
The Quick Start page is meant for basic users whom only require easy and seamless connectivity to
the internet without wo rrying about any other advance configuration sett i ng.
Important:
After clicking on Connec t, pleas e be su re to “Save S ett ings” t o regis ter the usernam e / pas sword or
any other changes.

4.3 Setup (for advance user)
From this screen the us er can setup the Lynx L-210 (config ure the LAN and WAN connection(s ),
configure the advanced c onfiguration op tions within the Lynx L-210 (secu rity, routing, and f iltering),
access tools that are helpful for debug purposes, obtain the status of the modem, and view the
extensive online help.
To setup your Lynx L-210 with a basic configuration, select Setup. Figure 3 illustrates the setup
page. The page is broken into two s ubsections the WAN configuration and the LAN configuration.
Before configuring the Lynx L-210, there are several concepts that you shoul d be familiar with on
how your new Lynx L-210 works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these concepts,
as it should make the configuratio n much easier.

4.3.1 Wide Area Network connection
On the other side of the Lynx L-210 is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection; also
referred to as a broadb and connection. This WAN connect ion is different for every WAN sup plier.
Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area. Local Area Network Connection(s)
4.3.2 Local Area Network connection
On one side of your Lynx L-210, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is
where you plug in your local computers to the Lynx L-210. The Lynx L-210 is normally configured to
automatically provide all the PC's on your network with Internet addresses.
4.4 Configuring the WAN
Before the gateway will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the
WAN side of the modem must be configured. Depending upon your DSL service provider or your
ISP, you will need some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can properly configure
the WAN:
• Your DSL line VPI and VCI
• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
• For PPPoA or PPPoE users, you also need these values from your ISP:
o Your username and pas sword
• For RFC 1483 users, you may need these values from your ISP:
o Your DSL fixed Internet I P address
o Your Subnet Mask
o Your Default Gateway
o Your primary DNS IP address
Since multiple users can use the Ly nx L-210, the Lynx L-210 can simultaneous ly support multiple
connection types; henc e, the user must set up different pr ofiles for each connection. The Ly nx L210 supports the followi ng protocols:
• DHCP
• RFC2364 / PPPoA
• RFC2516 / PPPoE
• Static
• Bridged
• RFC1577 / CLIP
4.4.1 New Connection
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your Lynx L-210 can support up to 8 different
(unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to
utilize the static and dynamic routing c apabilities of the modem to pass data correctly.
4.4.1.1 Bridged gateway profile and Connection
A pure bridged connect ion does not as sign and IP address to the WAN interf ace. NAT and firewal l
rules are not enabled. This connection method makes the Lynx L-210 act as a hub, and just
passes packets across t he WAN interface to the LAN interface.

To configure the Lynx L-210 as a bridge, click on Setup and t hen click on New Connection. The
default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select Bridge and the Bridge
connection setup page is displayed (see Figure 4). Give your Bridge conn ection a unique name;
the name must not have spaces and cannot begin wit h numbers. In this case the uniq ue name is
called Bridge. Select the encapsul ation type (LLC or VC); if you are not s ure just use the default
mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in
this case the DSL service prov ider is using 0,100. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave
the default value if you are unsur e or the ISP did not provide this information.
Figure 4 (Bridge Connect ion Setup)
To complete the connection you must now click the apply button. The apply button will temporarily
save this connection. To make the change permanent, you need to click on Save Settings. At the
system commands page, click on Save All.
4.4.1.2 PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells
which are carried over t he DSL line. PPP or Point-to-Point proto col is a method of establishing a
network connection / session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of
authenticating users. LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet.
Contact your ISP to make sure which enc apsulation is being supported.
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your Lynx L-210 to terminate the PPPoA connection. The
advantage is that the P PPoA termination is done within the Lynx L-210 and not on your PC; this
frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connecti on.
To configure the gateway for PPPoA, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The
default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoA and the PPPoA
connection setup page is displayed; figure 5 illustrates a typical PPPoA configuration. Give your
PPPoA connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with
numbers. In this case the unique name is called PPPoA1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or
VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL
