xDSL Network Module Configuration Tasks
Generally, six steps, four of which are optional, are required to complete the DSL Internet
connection of your UTM9S or UTM25S.
Complete these steps:
1. Configure the xDSL settings. Before you can configure the DSL Internet connection to
your ISP, you need to configure the xDSL settings. See Configure the xDSL Settings on
page 550.
2. Configure the Internet connection to your ISP. During this phase, you connect to your
ISP. See Automatically Detecting and Connecting the xDSL Internet Connection on
page 553 or Manually Configure the xDSL Internet Connection on page 556.
3. Configure the WAN mode. Select either NAT or classical routing, and select dedicated
(single WAN) mode, or, if you have also configured another WAN interface, auto-rollover
mode or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you can also select any necessary
protocol bindings. See Configure the WAN Mode on page 561.
4. Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN port (optional). Configure aliases for
the WAN port. See Configure Secondary WAN Addresses on page 570.
5. Configure Dynamic DNS on the WAN port (optional). Configure your fully qualified
domain names during this phase (if necessary). See Configure Dynamic DNS on page 572.
6. Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable the WAN port to
respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed.
However, these are advanced features, and changing them is not usually required. See Set
the UTM’s MAC Address and Configure Advanced WAN Options on page 574.
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this appendix.
Note: For information about how to configure the WAN meter for the DSL
interface, see Enable the WAN Traffic Meter on page 462.
Configure the xDSL Settings
Before you can configure the DSL Internet connection to your ISP, you need to configure the
ADSL or VDSL settings and, if necessary, the ATM multiplexing method. These settings are
usually provided by your ISP, but you can autodetect these settings. You can either let the
UTM9S or UTM25S autodetect these settings or configure them manually.
Note: Autodetecting the DSL settings takes about 25 minutes.
