due to an error.

l PPP X: is currently not connected This is displayed when a disconnect attempt

is made on a session that is not currently connected.

l PPP X: does not exist! This is displayed when a connect or disconnect attempt is

made on a session number that does not exist.

4.3 ADSL Page

The ADSL Status page shows the ADSL physical layer or link status. The information displayed on this page is either inherent to the Router or set by the ADSL Central Office (CO) DSLAM, neither of which cannot be changed by the user. This page contains information that is dynamic and will refresh every 2 seconds.

Restart/Stop Execute: It allows you to stop or restart the ADSL connection by selecting the appropriate action and clicking Execute.

Showtime Firmware Version: It displays the ADSL data pump firmware version.

ADSL Line Status: It displays the ADSL connection process and status. The different states for this field are as follows:

l Activation: The Router is in this state when it is attempting to start the activation

process.

l Initialization: The Router is initializing handshake with the CO. l Training: It is a part of the handshake process with the CO. l Channel Analysis: It is a part of the handshake process with the CO. l Exchange: It is a part of the handshake process with the CO. l Down: It indicates that the ADSL connection is down. l Showtime: It indicates that a connection has been established between the

Router and the CO.

ADSL Annex Mode: It displays the ADSL annex mode, which can either be Annex A or Annex B.

ADSL Startup Attempts: It displays the number of ADSL connection attempts after loss of showtime. A connection attempt is recorded only if showtime is attained.

ADSL Max TX Power: It displays the transmit output power level of the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment), which is the transmit output power level of the Router.

ADSL CO Vendor: It displays the Central Office (CO) DSLAM vendor name, if available. If the Router is not connected to an ADSL vendor, then ‘UNUSED_VENDOR_0’ will appear in this field.

Elapsed Time: It displays the time of the Router has been in operation. This is the amount of time the Router is on, not the amount of time it is connected to the PC or in showtime status.

A table contained the information of SNR Margin, Line Attenuation, Errored Seconds, Loss of Signal, Loss of Frame, CRC Errors, Data Rate, and Latency is also available.

5. Configuration Pages

Classical IP over

The links under Configuration column are associated to the pages that represent the configurations of system and interfaces. These pages can be viewed and modified by both user and admin accounts.

When any settings are changed, please go to the Save Settings page to save the new setting(s) and reboot the Router. Changes will not take effect until the settings are saved and the Router is rebooted. If power is lost before saving, all new configurations since the last save will be lost, even if they were submitted.

Bridge Mode: Bridge Mode is used when there is one PC connected to the LAN-side

Ethernet port. IEEE 802.1D method of transport bridging is used to bridge between the WAN (ADSL) side and the LAN (Ethernet) side, i.e., to store and forward.

Router Mode: Router Mode is used when there is more than one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet port. This enables the ADSL WAN access to be shared with multiple nodes on the LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported so that one WAN-side IP address can be shared among multiple LAN-side devices. DHCP is used to serve each LAN-side device and IP address.

PPP Half Bridge: Although the Router mode is capable of terminating the PPP in the modem and hence does not require PPPoE client software on the host PC, there are some disadvantages to Router mode when only single-user support is required. For instance, Router mode uses NAT which requires ALG support. PPP Half Bridge also terminates the PPP in the modem and does not require a PPPoE client on the PC. However, PPP Half Bridge does not use NAT and is not limited by ALGs. PPP Half Bridge will work with Ethernet interface to the PC.

Single-User Mode: Only one computer is connected at the LAN side through Ethernet.

Multi-User Mode: Multiple computers are connected at the LAN side through Ethernet.

5.2 WAN Configuration

The WAN configuration page allows you to set the configuration for the WAN/ADSL ports. Before you enter the WAN Configuration page, you will be asked to select an adapter (PVC0 through PVC7) first. Once you select the adaptor, then following page will appear.

Virtual Circuit: Select Enable to activate the current PVC configuration. The current PVC is displayed at the top of the page in parenthesis. Default is Enabled for PVC0 and Disabled for PVC1-PVC7.

Bridge: Enable to connect the LAN to the WAN (bridge the two connections). This is available in Bridge Mode only (see Table 5-2). Default is Disabled. IGMP: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) relay/proxy specification and environment, default is Disabled. IGMP is available in all modes and all encapsulations. Support IGMP proxy/relay function for Router, based on the following requirement and cases:

l On CO side, there must be at least one IGMP querier (router) present. IGMP

querier will send IGMP query packet. The Router is responsible to relay these IGMP queries to Ethernet.

l End-user multicast application device sends IGMP report while receiving IGMP

query or being activated by the user. The Router should be responsible to proxy (that is, change source IP to Router’s WAN IP) the IGMP report to ADSL WAN side, including all PVCs. The same case is for IGMP leave packet.

l Not necessary to relay multicast routing between two ADSL PVCs or two

interfaces in LAN side.

l Special purpose multicast packet (such as RIP 2 packet) should run without

Interference.
