Chapter 8 Modem Mode 8 This Chapter explains configuration and operation when in "Modem" or "Bridge" mode.. Overview There are two modes available on the Mode screen. • Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users. • Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational.
Advanced Administration Home Screen If in Modem mode, the home screen will look like the example below. Figure 68: Home Screen - Modem Mode Note that the menu has changed, many of the options in Router mode are not available. The screens available are: • Mode - change back to Router mode, if desired. • ADSL - set ADSL parameters. See the following section for details. • LAN - set IP address, mask and gateway.
ADSL VoIP Router User Guide ADSL Screen This screen is used to set the ADSL parameter used by the modem. Figure 69: ADSL Screen Data - ADSL Screen Multiplexing Method Check with your ISP or DSL service provider to find whether your Multiplexing Method is VC-BASED or LLC-BASED. VPI Enter the value proposed by your ISP or DSL service provider. VCI Enter the value proposed by your ISP or DSL service provider. Operation Operation is automatic and transparent.
Advanced Administration Status Screen In Modem mode, the Status screen looks like the example below. Figure 70: Status Screen - Modem Mode Data - Status Screen (Modem Mode) System Device Name The current name of the ADSL VoIP Router. This is also the "hostname" provided to ISPs who request this information. Firmware Version The version of the current firmware installed.

ADSL VoIP Router User Guide Network Mask The Network Mask (Subnet Mask) for the IP Address above. MAC Address This shows the MAC Address for the ADSL VoIP Router, as seen on the LAN interface. Wireless Name (SSID) If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). Region The region can not be changed by users. Channel This shows the Channel currently used, as set on the Wireless screen.
Appendix A Troubleshooting A This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the ADSL VoIP Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the ADSL Vo IP Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the ADSL VoIP Router to configure it.
ADSL VoIP Router User Guide Solution 2: The ADSL VoIP Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: • It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. • Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Appendix B About Wireless LAN s B This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g.
ADSL VoIP Router User Guide Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. • In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point.
Appendix A - Troubleshooting Wireless LAN Configuration To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows: Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to.
