Click on Create a new
service.
2
Select the ATM
protocol as determined by your ADSL Service
Provider and click Configure.
NOTE! To create RFC1483 Bridged in Routed mode, you may select the RFC 1483 bridged option and proceed with the following instructions. BUT before you do that, please proceed to Configuration > LAN Connections > Change service for default LAN port > Configure RFC1483 Bridged in Routed Mode to set the IP addresses first.
ATM PPPoE: Creation and maintenance of a Point-to-Point-Protocol (PPP) session over an Ethernet link.
PPPoA: Creation and maintenance of a routed Point-to-Point-Protocol (PPP) session over an ATM link.
RFC 1483 routed: Encapsulation and Transmission of routed network data, such as IP datagrams, over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) Protocol Data Units (PDU).
IPoA: Transmission of IP datagrams and ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ATMARP) requests and replies over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5).
RFC 1483 bridged: Encapsulation of bridged network data, such as Ethernet frames, in ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) Protocol Data Units (PDU).
3 Enter the following information.
(Depending on your selected ATM protocol, some of the fields may not be applicable)
Description Enter your description for your WAN connection. (E.g. MyPPPoE) VPI/VCI Virtual Path Identifier. Enter VPI as given by your ADSL Service Provider.
Virtual Circuit Identifier. Enter VCI as given by your ADSL Service Provider.
Overwrite the VPI and VCI values if necessary as determined by your ADSL Service Provider.Encapsulation method The methods available are LLC/SNAP or VcMux (null). AutoDNS Discovery Select this option if you want your Router to detect the IP address of your ADSL Service Provider's DNS server. Use DHCP Select this option if you are configuring DHCP server. WAN IP address RFC 1483 routed / IPoA:
Select this option if you have a fixed WAN IP Address.PPPoA / PPPoE:
Enter the WAN IP address as given by your ADSL Service Provider. If no IP address is given, it will automatically gets the IP address upon connection.Subnet mask The subnet to which the WAN IP address belongs. Enable NAT on this interface Network Address Translation. NAT is the translation of an IP address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. NAT also conserves on the number of global IP addresses that a company needs and it lets the company use a single IP address in its communication with the world. Access concentrator This entry is optional; determined by your ADSL Service Provider.
It is a tag that identifies a remote access concentrator (PPPoE server) for PPPoE connection. When no concentrator tag is set, PPPoE connects to the first concentrator that responds.Service name This entry is optional; determined by your ADSL Service Provider.
It is a tag that identifies a specific service. When set, the PPPoE transport will connect to the first access concentrator it found that uses this service. If an access concentrator is also set, the PPPoE transport will connect to the specified service on the named concentrator.User name Enter user name as given by your ADSL Service Provider. Password Enter password as given by ADSL Service Provider. Enable Unnumbered PPP (Applicable for PPPoE and PPPoA only)
This option allows you to enable IP processing on a serial interface without assigning it an explicit IP address. The IP unnumbered interface can 'borrow' the IP address of another interface that is already configured on the router, thereby conserving network and address space.
4 Click Configure.
You will see your newly created WAN connection at the Status navigation panel. Click on it to list the status and details of the connection.
5 To save the changes permanently, click Save Config (Configuration option). Changes that are not saved will be lost the next time you power off or restart your Router.
