Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN
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 provide
r
assigns a global IP address fro
m
a pool of addresses availa
b
le to
the service provider. Typically
the IP address assigned has
a
long lease time, so it will likely
b
e the same address each time
the Router requests an IP
address.
To configure a Dynamic IP
Address connection, perfor
m
the steps listed below. Some o
f
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 descriptio
n
of all the settings available in
this menu.
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 42 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.
4. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access their
network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the
ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the
MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button.
5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see
table below).
6. NAT should remain enabled. If you disable NAT, you not be able to use more than one computer for Internet
connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections,
NAT will disabled on all connections.
