Reference Manual for the ADSL Firewall Router DG834

3-10 Connecting the Router to the Internet

202-10005-05, June 2005

Note: If instead of the Setup Wizard menu, the main menu of the router’s Configuration

Manager as shown in Figure 3-15 appears, click the Setup Wizard link in the upper left to

bring up this menu.

2. You must select a country and language. Language choices are English, French, German, and

Italian. After you change the language, the remaining setup screens change to the language of

your choice.

3. Select Yes to allow the router to automatically determine your connection.

4. Click Next.

The Setup Wizard will now check for the following connection types:

• Dynamic IP assignment

• A login protocol such as PPPoE or PPPoA

• Classical IP over ATM (RFC1577)

• Fixed IP address assignment

Next, the Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and then display

the appropriate configuration page. If the Setup Wizard finds no connection, you will be

prompted to check the physical connection between your router and the ADSL line. When the

connection is properly made, the router’s Internet LED should be on.

5. The ADSL settings for the multiplexing method and VPI/VCI will update with the preset

defaults. The multiplexing method preset default settings will usually work. Only change the

multiplexing method if you are sure your ISP requires Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) or Virtual

Channel Identifier (VCI) settings that are different from the default values.

Incorrect VPI or VCI settings will prevent you from connecting to the Internet. To change

these settings, click the ADSL Settings link on the main menu. See “ADSL Settings” on page

3-19 for more details.

The procedures for filling in the configuration page for each type of connection follow below.

Wizard-Detected PPPoE Login Account Setup

If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses a login protocol such as

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), you will be directed to the PPPoE page shown in Figure 3-10:

1 2 ... 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 ... 235 236
