Broadband Link - Configuration Page
The Broadband Link – Configuration page allows you to modify specific broadband connection settings.
Figure 28. MDC Broadband Link Configuration Page
Note: Modifying the settings on this page can impact the ability of computers on the local 
network to access the broadband connection. You should modify these settings ONLY if you are 
thoroughly familiar with networking.

Modifying DSL and ATM Settings
By default, the gateway automatically detects which DSL line to use. The DSL and ATM Settings pane allows 
you to select a DSL line and manually configure your ATM settings.
To modify DSL or ATM settings:
1.From the DSL Line Selection pull-down, select Automatic, Line 1(inner pair), or Line 2 (outer pair).
2.In the ATM Circuit Identifier VPI and VCI fields, enter the VPI and VCI you want the gateway to use to 
connect to the ISP.
3.From the ATM Encapsulation pull-down menu, select VC-Mux or LLC.
4.In the ATM/PVC Search field, click the Enabled or Disabled radio button.
5.Click the Submit button.
Modifying Internet Connection and Authentication Settings
The Internet Connection Settings - Connection and Authentication pane allows you to modify the method by 
which you connect to the Internet.
To modify Internet connection and authentication settings:
1.Ensure that the Broadband connection Enabled radio button is selected (default).
2.From the Connection Type pull-down menu, select the connection type (either Direct IP (DHCP or Static), 
PPPoE, or PPPoA).
If you connect via PPPoE or PPPoA, proceed to step 2. If you connect via Direct IP, proceed to step 5. 
Direct IP connection does not require a user name or password.
3.In the Username field, enter your user name.
4.In the Password field, enter your password.
5.In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your system password.
6.Click the Submit button.
The PPP on Demand field allows you to enable PPP on-demand. If the value is set to 0 minutes, the PPP 
session will be persistent (always-on). If the value is between 1 to 10080 minutes, the PPP session will 
timeout if the 2Wire gateway does not detect outbound traffic destined for the Internet in the specified time. 
When the 2Wire gateway detects outbound traffic, the session is reestablished.
Note: By default, the minimum timeout value is 3 minutes.

Modifying Hardware Address
By default, the 2Wire gateway uses its built-in hardware address. The Internet Connection Settings - 
Hardware Address Override pane allows you to manually override the MAC address of the broadband 
connection, which is sometimes required for cable modems that perform MAC address authentication.
To modify the hardware address:
1.Click the Override the built-in hardware address radio button.
2.In the Hardware Address field, enter the alternative hardware address.
3.Click the Submit button.
Modifying Internet Address Settings
By default, the 2Wire gateway automatically obtains its Internet address. The Internet Connection Settings - 
Internet Address pane allows you to manually configure your Internet address settings.
To manually configure your Internet address settings:
1.Click the Manually configure Internet address settings radio button.
2.In the IP Address field, enter the IP address you want the 2Wire gateway to use.
3.In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask you want the 2Wire gateway to use.
4.In the Default Gateway field, enter the default gateway address you want the 2Wire gateway to use.
5.Click the Submit button.
Modifying DNS Information
By default, the 2Wire gateway automatically obtains DNS ser ver addresses via DHCP. The Internet 
Connection Settings - DNS pane allows you to manually configure your DNS information.
To manually configure your DNS information:
1.Click the Manually configure your DNS information radio button.
2.In the Primar y Ser ver field, enter the IP address of the primar y DNS ser ver that the 2Wire gateway is to 
use for DNS name resolution.
3.In the Secondar y Server field, enter the IP address of the secondary DNS ser ver that the 2Wire gateway 
is to use for DNS name resolution.
4.In the Domain Name field, enter the specific domain name to be used by the 2Wire gateway.
5.Click the Submit button.
