Web Configuration Management Guide


This chapter describes how to use the embedded web-based management software to configure the Router for additional PVC connection profiles, to change the LAN IP settings, to change the global WAN IP address and to perform other management functions.

Manager Interface Layout



The management software used for the Router initially presents the Home menu pictured below when you first log in. On the left side you see four folders, the hyperlinked Home folder contains the Quick Configuration menu. The LAN folder contains hyperlinked menus used for assigning LAN IP settings to the Router and IP services performed by the Router. The Bridging and Routing folders contain two of the same hyperlinked menus, the ATM VCC page and the EoA page. These are used to configure settings that allow the Router to operate on the service provider’s network. If you are using the Router for multiple virtual connections, these menus are also used to configure these additional virtual connections (PVCs).

Quick Configuration


The Quick Configuration displays the settings you are most likely to need to change when you first set up the Router. These settings are explained briefly below:

ATM Interface

Select the ATM interface you want to use (use atm-0 for a single ATM interface). Your system may be configured with more than one ATM interface if you are using different types of services with your ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.

Operation Mode

This setting enables or disables the device's Internet and routing functions. When set to "No", the device cannot be used to provide Internet connectivity for your network.

Connection Type

This setting determines the type of data link used to communicate with your ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.

VPI and VCI

These settings determine the unique data path your modem uses to communicate with your ISP. See ATM VC Configuration.

Bridge

This setting enables or disables bridging between the device and your ISP. Your ISPs may also refer to this using "RFC 1483" or "Ethernet over ATM". See Bridging.

IP Address and Subnet Mask

If your ISP has assigned a public IP address to your LAN, enter the address and the associated subnet mask in the boxes provided. Check with your ISP to get this information. You may have to use the public IP address for your computer. In this case you do not enter the IP address here but configure these settings for your computer.

Default Route

When enabled, this setting specifies that the IP address specified above will be used as the default route for your LAN. Whenever, one of your LAN computers attempts to access the Internet, the data will be sent via the WAN interface.

Gateway IP Address

Specify the IP address that identifies the ISP server through which your Internet connection will be routed.

Username and Password

Enter the username and password you use to log in to your ISP. (Note: this is not the same as the user name and password you used to log in to Web Configuration Manager.)

Use DNS

Click Enable to turn on the DNS forwarding service, which forwards to your LAN PCs the Domain Name System server addresses that your PPP connection learns from your ISP. This option can only be used when the Router is configured to act as a DHCP server for your PCs. 
If you click Disable, you must configure DNS addresses manually on each PC or in the fields below.

Primary/Secondary DNS

Enter the Primary and Secondary DNS server addresses provided by your ISP.

Click the Submit button to save the settings in temporary memory. When you are done making changes to the configuration settings, open the Commit & Reboot menu and click the Commit button to save your changes to permanent memory.

You can click the Delete button to remove all existing Quick Configuration settings and return to the default values.
