4.3.1 Wide Area Network Connection
On the other side of the ADSL router is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection; also
referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN
provider. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.
4.3.2 Local Area Network Connection
On one side of the ADSL router, you have your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This
is where you plug in your local computers to the ADSL router. The ADSL router is normally
configured to automatically provide all the computers on your network with Internet addresses.
4.4 Configuring the WAN
Before the gateway will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the
WAN side of the modem must be configured. Depending on your ADSL Provider or ISP, you will
need some or all of the information outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN:
• Your ADSL VPI and VCI values
• Your ADSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your ADSL training mode (default is MMODE)
• For PPPoA and PPPoE users, you also need these values from your ISP:
• Your username and password
• For RFC 1483 users, you may need these values from your ISP:
• Your ADSL fixed WAN IP address
• Your Subnet Mask
• Your Default Gateway
• Your primary DNS IP address
