‣ ATM VC: ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides VPI (Virtual Path 

Identifier), VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) settings to you. In this Device, you can totally setup 

8 VCs on different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different virtual circuits from your ISP. You 

need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs management, you can use ATM QoS to 

setup each PVC traffic line's priority. 

• Virtual Circuit: Select the VC number you want to setup, PVC0~PVC7. 

• Status: If you want to use a designed VC, you should activate it. 

• VPI: Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is 

from 0 to 255. Please input the value provided by your ISP. 

• VCI: Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from 

32 to 65535 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols). Please input the value 

provided by your ISP. 

• PVCs Summary: Click the button, and you can view the summary information about the 

PVCs. 

• QoS: Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit, including CBR (Constant 

Bit Rate), UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate). These QoS types are 

all controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR 

(Sustained Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size), please configure them according 

to your needs. 

‣ Encapsulation: There are four connection types: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, 

PPPoA/PPPoE and Bridge Mode. Please choose the designed type that you want to use. 

After that, you should follow the configuration below to proceed. 

1) Dynamic IP Address 

Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address automatically. This option is typically 

used for Cable services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information accordingly. 

20


Figure 4-7 

‣ Encapsulation: Select the encapsulation mode for the Dynamic IP Address, you can leave it 

default. 

‣ NAT: Select this option to Enable/Disable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function 

for this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis. 

‣ Default Route: If enable this function, the current PVC will be considered as the default 

gateway to internet from this device. 

‣ TCP MTU Option: Enter the TCP MTU as your desire. 

‣ Dynamic Route: Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) version 

for WAN interface, including RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are both sent in 

RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B using Broadcast 

format. 

• Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP 

function. Both means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and 

accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means 

the ADLS router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the 

ADLS router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. 

‣ Multicast: Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast 

Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The 

ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1) and IGMP v2. Select “Disabled” to 

disable it. 

2) Static IP Address 

Select this option if your ISP provides static IP information to you. You should set static IP 

address, IP subnet mask, and gateway address in the screen below (shown in Figure 4-8). 

21


Figure 4-8 

Note: 

Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets 

separated by a dot (x.x.x.x), such as 192.168.1.100. The Router will not accept the IP address if it 

is not in this format. 

3) PPPoA/PPPoE 

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE connection. This option is typically

Figure 4-11 

‣ Router Local IP: These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the device. These 

settings may be referred to as Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if 

needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the 

Internet. 

• IP Address: Enter the Router’s local IP Address, then you can access to the Web-based 

Utility via the IP Address, the default value is 192.168.1.1. 

• IP Subnet Mask: Enter the Router’s Subnet Mask, the default value is 255.255.255.0. 

• Dynamic Route: Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) 

version for LAN interface, including RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are 

both sent in RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B 

using Broadcast format. 

• Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP 

function. Both means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and 

accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means 

the ADLS router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the 

ADLS router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. 

• Multicast: Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast 

Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. 

The ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1) and IGMP v2. Select 

“Disabled” to disable it. 

• IGMP Snoop: Enable the IGMP Snoop function if you need. 

‣ DHCP Server: Select Enabled, then you will see the screen below (shown in Figure 4-12). 

The Router will work as a DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client 

25


connected to it. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server gives 

out IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged on to 

the network. That device must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. 

By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the 

IP address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network. 

Figure 4-12 

• Starting IP Address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. 

Because the default IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP 

Address is 192.168.1.2, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.2or greater, but 

smaller than 192.168.1.254. 

• IP Pool Count: The max user pool size. 

• Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease. After the dynamic IP address has 

expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default 

is 259200 seconds. 

• Physical Ports: Specify the Physical Ports of the DHCP client. 

• DNS Relay: If you want to disable this feature, you just need to set both Primary and 

secondary DNS IP to 0.0.0.0. If you want to use DNS relay, you can setup DNS server IP 

to 192.168.1.1 on their Computer. If not, the device will perform as no DNS relay. 

• Primary DNS Server: Type in your preferred DNS server. 

• Secondary DNS Server: Type in your preferred DNS server. 

• Current Pool Summary: Click the button, then you can view the IP addresses that the 

DHCP Server gives out. 

Note: 

If Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only is selected in DNS Relay, this router will accept the 

first received DNS assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s) 

during the connection establishment. If Use User Discovered DNS Server Only is selected in 

DNS Relay, it is necessary for you to enter the primary and optional secondary DNS server IP 

addresses. After type in the address, click SAVE button to save it and invoke it. 

‣ DHCP Relay: Select Relay, then you will see the next screen (shown in Figure 4-13), and the 

26


Router will work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data 

between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the 

addresses. Each of the device's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, 

the DHCP requests from local PCs will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To 

have this function working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server 

on the LAN port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry. 

Figure 4-13 

• DHCP Server IP for Relay Agent: Enter the DHCP server IP Address runs on WAN 

side. 

Note: 

If you select Disabled, the DHCP function will not take effect. 

4.3.3 Wireless 

Choose “Interface Setup→Wireless” menu, and you will see the Wireless screen (shown in 

Figure 4-14 ). Please configure the parameters for wireless according to the descriptions below. 

27


Figure 4-14 

‣ Access point Settings: These are the settings of the access point. You can configure the 

rules to allow wireless-equipped computers and other devices to communicate with a 

wireless network. 

• Access point: Select Activated to allow wireless station to associate with the access 

point. 

• Channel: Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down List of Channel. This 

28


field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change 

the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby 

access point. 

• Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval 

value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by 

the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100. 

• RTS/CTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction 

of the default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset 

RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends 

Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the 

sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a 

Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most 

cases, keep its default value of 2347. 

• Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before 

data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you 

may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold 

too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default 

value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346. 

• DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic 

Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the 

next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has 

buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM 

with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the 

broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. 

• Wireless Mode: In the drop-down list you can select “802.11b”, “802.11g”, “802.11n”, 

“802.11b+g”, “802.11g+n” and “802.11b+g+n”. “802.11b+g+n” allows both 802.11b, 

802.11g and 802.11n wireless stations to connect to the Router. 

‣ 11n Settings: These are the settings of the 11n parameters. If “802.11n”, “802.11g+n” or 

“802.11b+g+n” is selected for Wireless mode, these settings will be displayed. 

• Channel Bandwidth: Select the Bandwidth you want to use from the drop-down List. 

There are two options, “20 MHz” and “20/40 MHz”. If bigger bandwidth is selected, 

device could transmit and receive data with higher speed. 

• Extension Channel: If “20/40 MHz” is selected, this option will be displayed. 

• Guard Interval: Select the guard interval you want from the drop-down list. 

• MCS: Select the wireless transmission rate from the drop-down list. By default, the 

option is AUTO. 

‣ Multiple SSIDs Settings: These are the settings of the SSID. 

• SSID Index: The index of the SSID, and in this model, you can only leave it as a default 

value of 1. 

• Broadcast SSID: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to 

associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the 

29


Router’s SSID, keep the default setting. If you don’t want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, 

select “No”. 

• Use QSS: Use QSS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function, you can add a new wireless 

device to an existing network quickly. To Use QSS, keep the default setting, and 

configure the parameters in QSS Settings. If you don’t want to Use QSS, select “No”,

4.4.5 VLAN 

Choose “Advanced Setup→VLAN”, you can activate the VLAN function in the next screen. 

Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they 

can communicate as if they were attached to the same LAN, when in fact they are located on a 

number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical 

connections, it is very flexible for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource
