WAN Settings for Dynamic IP Address Connection

1. Choose the Dynamic IP Address option from the WAN Settings pull-down

menu.

2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the menu should not be changed

unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed

to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for your account.

Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0 and Enabled)

values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual

circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the

table on page 24 below.

3. Under the Dynamic IP heading, choose the Connection Type from the

pull-down menu. This defines both the connection type and encapsulation method

used for your ADSL service. The available options are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and

1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If have not been provided specific information for the

Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

A Dynamic IP Address

connection configures the

Router to automatically

obtain its global IP address

from a DHCP server on the

ISP’s network. The service

provider assigns a global IP

address from a pool of

addresses available to the

service provider. Typically

the IP address assigned has

a long lease time, so it will

likely be the same address

each time the Router

requests an IP address.

To configure a Dynamic IP

Address connection, perform

the steps listed below. Some

of the settings do not need to

be changed the first time the

device is set up, but can be

changed later if you choose.

See the table below for a

description of all the settings

available in this menu.
