The following table lists the fields and definitions of the Use The Following Static IP
Address area of the LAN Group 1 Configuration screen:
Field Description
IP Address
The Default IP Address for the iConnectAccess624W is 192.168.1.254. Its
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and this allows you to support 254. If you
wish to support a larger number of devices, you can alter the Subnet Mask.
However, if you do, remember the DHCP Server is defaulted to give out 101 IP
Addresses.
Netmask
A mask used to determine the subnet to which an IP address belongs. This is
the Subnet Mask that will be assigned to the Management interface of the
iConnectAccess624W.
Default Gateway
The default gateway is a host to which local computers send data that is
destined for a non-local machine. On the iConnectAccess624W, configure the
default gateway address here to reach all computers that are not on the same
local IP subnet.
The default gateway is the default route for all traffic that does not have a
defined route. This field is automatically populated when a PPP session is
established. Leave this field blank unless instructed otherwise by your ISP.

iConnectAccess624W
26
Wide Area Network (WAN) Setup
Before the router will pass any data between the LAN and WAN interfaces, the WAN side
of the iConnectAccess624W must be configured. Depending on your ISP, you will need
some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can properly configure the
WAN.
The following table lists all DSL requirements:
DSL Requirement Comment
VPI and VCI
The VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and the VCI (Virtual
Channel Identifier) define the virtual path settings for the
ADSL connection between you and your ISP. By default,
these settings are pre-configured for 8/35 in your
iConnectAccess624W.
Training Mode
The default is MMODE, and this enables your
iConnectAccess624W to tune into the ADSL services in
Australia automatically. Do not change this parameter.
PPPoA / PPPoE Requirement
Username
Your username is required for authentication to your ISP.
Password
Your username is required for authentication to your ISP.
Static Type Requirement
DSL Fixed Internet IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS IP Address
Connection Types
As multiple users can use the iConnectAccess624W, different profiles must be set up for
different connections. The iConnectAccess624W supports the following connection
types:
PPPoE;
PPPoA;
Bridged;
Static;
DHCP;
CLIP.
Your iConnectAccess624W can support up to 8 unique virtual connections. If you have
multiple virtual connections, you may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing
capabilities of the router to pass data correctly.
iConnectAccess624W
27
PPPoE Connection Type
Computers connected to the Internet via ADSL do so through an Ethernet link. As such,
plain TCP/IP has been used, with no additional protocols. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
provides secure login, and traffic metering among other advanced features. PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet) was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to
Ethernet connections such as DSL.
PPPoE allows ADSL users to be authenticated by the ISP’s Radius authentication
systems. Most broadband connections are Ethernet, hence Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet. It also allows for ISPs to provide multiple services over multiple PPP sessions,
ie, rated services, broadband specific content (movies, etc.), metered services, etc.
To Configure PPPoE:
NOTE:
If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you
will need to open it and edit the setting. It is not possible to have more
than one connection using the same VPI/VCI values.
From any screen in the web interface,
step 1 Click the Setup tab, then New Connection.
step 2 From the Type drop-down list, select PPPoE. The following screen is
displayed:
step 4 Enter a unique name for your PPPoE connection in the Name field. The
name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.
step 5 Check the NAT and Firewall checkboxes beside the Options field.
step 6 Enter your ISP provided username and password in the Username and
Password fields.
step 7 Enter the ISP provided VPI and VCI settings.
step 8 Click Apply, then Tools. The following screen appears:
iConnectAccess624W
28
step 9 Click System Commands, then Save All. Click OK to confirm the save
when the following appears:
iConnectAccess624W
29
The following table lists the PPPoE Connection type fields and describes each of the
options:
Field Description
NAT
Network Address Translation is a feature that enables you to use private IP
addresses on your computer or your LAN. This is set to Enabled by default for
standard operation.
Firewall
Select to enable firewalling on this connection. This is set to Enabled by default for
standard operation.
Username
The Username for your ISP account.
Password
The Password for your ISP account.
Idle Timeout
This specifies that the PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link detects no
activity for x seconds. If you wish to ensure the link remains always connected,
enter 0 in this field. This option will only be available when the On-Demand option
is checked.
Keep Alive
When the On-Demand option is disabled, this value specifies the time to wait
without connection to your provider before terminating the connection. If you wish
to ensure the link remains always active, enter 0 in this field. This is set to
10 by
default.
Authentication
This defines the authentication protocol for your ISP. This is set to Auto by default.
On-Demand
If selected, this enables on-demand connectivity to the Internet. Your Internet
connection is activated when traffic is generated from LAN clients. This is
unchecked by default.
Default Gateway
This sets the route for this connection as the default gateway in the routing table.
Debug
Check this checkbox to enable PPP connection debugging facilities.
VPI
The VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) defines the virtual path settings for the ADSL
connection between you and your ISP. The value entered here must be supported
by your ISP.
VCI
The VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) defines the virtual channel settings for the
ADSL connection between you and your ISP. The VCI value entered here must be
supported by your ISP.
