User manual

The following configuration considerations apply:

• The WAN network operating mode operation depends on the service provider’s

configuration in the Central Office and Broadband Access Server for the PVC

• If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection

depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a PC) is running a PPPoE

client or whether the router is to run the PPPoE client. The router can support

both cases simultaneously.

• If some or none of the LAN-side devices do not run PPPoE client, then select

PPPoE. If every LAN-side device is running a PPPoE client, then select Bridge In

PPPoE mode, the device also supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the

LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN

devices. In most cases, NAT and firewall should always be enabled when PPPoE

or PPPoA mode are selected, but they can be enabled or disabled by the user

when MER or IPoA is selected, NAT and firewall are always disabled when Bridge

mode is selected.

• Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAPT and firewall are

enabled or disabled, the main panel will display or hide the NAPT/Firewall menu.

For instance, at initial setup, the default network operating mode is Bridge. The

main panel will not show the NAPT and Firewall menu.

NOTE: Up to sixteen PVC profiles can be configured and saved on the flash

memory. To activate a particular PVC profile, you need to navigate all the

Quick Setup pages until the last summary page, then click on the Finish

button and reboot the system.
