Logging into the Router
You  will  see  the  Router’s  home  page  in  your  browser  window.  The 
home  page  is  visible  to  any  user  who  wants  to  see  it.  To  make  any 
changes  to  the  Router’s  settings,  you  have  to  log  in.  Clicking  the 
“Login”  button  or  clicking  on  any  one  of  the  links  on  the  home  page 
will  take  you  to  the  login  screen.  The  Router  ships  with  no  password 
entered.  In  the  login  screen,  leave  the  password  blank  and  click  the 
“Submit”  button  to  log  in.
Logging out of the Router
One  computer  at  a  time  can  log  into  the  Router  for  the  purposes 
of  making  changes  to  the  settings  of  the  Router.  Once  a  user  has 
logged  in  to  make  changes,  there  are  two  ways  that  the  computer 
can  be  logged  out.  Clicking  the  “Logout”  button  will  log  the  computer 
out.  The  second  method  is  automatic.  The  login  will  time  out  after 
a  specified  period  of  time.  The  default  login  time-out  is  10  minutes. 
This  can  be  changed  from  one  to  99  minutes.  For  more  information, 
see  the  section  in  this  manual  titled  “Changing  the  Login  Time-Out 
Setting”.
Understanding the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
The  home  page  (shown  on  the  next  page)  is  the  first  page  you  will 
see  when  you  access  the  Advanced  User  Interface  (UI).  The  home 
page  shows  you  a  quick  view  of  the  Router’s  status  and  settings.  All 
advanced  setup  pages  can  be  reached  from  this  page.

you will need to enter a password. When you are logged into the Router, you 
can make changes to the settings. When you are finished making changes, 
you can log out of the Router by clicking the “Logout” button. For more 
information about logging into the Router, see the section called “Logging into 
the Router”.

Step 4     Configuring your Router for Connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
The  “Internet/WAN”  tab  is  where  you  will  set  up  your  Router  to 
connect  to  your  Internet  Service  Provider  (ISP).  The  Router  is  capable 
of  connecting  to  virtually  any  ISP’s  system  provided  you  have 
correctly  configured  the  Router’s  settings  for  your  ISP’s  connection 
type.  Your  ISP  connection  settings  are  provided  to  you  by  your  ISP. 
To  configure  the  Router  with  the  settings  that  your  ISP  gave  you, 
click  “Connection  Type” 
(A)  on  the  left  side  of  the  screen.  Select 
the  connection  type  you  use.  If  your  ISP  gave  you  DNS  settings, 
clicking  “DNS” 
(B)  allows  you  to  enter  DNS  address  entries  for  ISPs 
that  require  specific  settings.  Clicking  “MAC  Address” (C)  will  let  you 
clone  your  computer’s  MAC  address  or  type  in  a  specific  WAN  MAC 
address,  if  required  by  your  ISP.  When  you  have  finished  making 
settings,  the  “Internet  Status”  indicator  will  read  “connection  OK”  if 
your  Router  is  set  up  properly.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA 
PPPoE  (Point-to-Point  Protocol  over  Ethernet)  is  the  standard  method 
of  connecting  networked  devices.  It  requires  a  user  name  and  password 
to  access  the  network  of  your  ISP  for  connecting  to  the  Internet. 
PPPoA  (PPP  over  ATM)  is  similar  to  PPPoE,  but  is  mostly  implemented 
in  the  UK.  Select  PPPoE  or  PPPoA  and  click  “Next”.  Then  enter  the 
information  provided  by  your  ISP,  and  click  “Apply  Changes”  to  activate 
your  settings.
1.  User Name  -  Enter  the  user  name.  (Assigned  by  your  ISP).
2.  Password  -  Enter  your  password.  (Assigned  by  your  ISP).
3.  Retype Password  -  Confirm  the  password.  (Assigned 
by  your  ISP).
4.  VPI/VCI  -  Enter  your  Virtual  Path  Identifier  (VPI)  and  Virtual  Circuit 
Identifier  (VCI)  parameter  here.  (Assigned  by  your  ISP).
5.  Encapsulation  -  Select  your  encapsulation  type  (supplied  by 
your  ISP)  to  specify  how  to  handle  multiple  protocols  at  the  ATM 
transport  layer.
  VC-MUX:   PPPoA  Virtual  Circuit  Multiplexer  (null  encapsulation) 
allows  only  one  protocol  running  per  virtual  circuit  with  fewer 
overheads.
  LLC:   PPPoA  Logical  Link  Control  allows  multiple  protocols  running 
over  one  virtual  circuit  (more  overhead).

Setting your Connection Type to Dynamic/Fixed IP (1483 Bridged) 
This  connection  method  bridges  your  network  and  ISP’s  network 
together.  The  Router  can  obtain  an  IP  address  automatically  from  your 
ISP’s  DHCP  server  or  accept  a  fixed  IP  address  assigned  by  your  ISP.
 
For Dynamic IP connection:
1.  VPI/VCI
  -  Enter  your  Virtual  Path  Identifier  (VPI)  and  Virtual  Circuit 
Identifier  (VCI)  parameter  here.  These  identifiers  are  assigned  by 
your  ISP.
2.   Encapsulation  -  Select  LLC  or  VC  MUX  your  ISP  uses.
 Click  “Apply  Changes”  to  save  and  activate  your  settings.  To  go
