will change to offer a different set of configuration options.
2. Under the ATM VC Setting heading, do not change the PVC (Pvc0) index for the initial
connection.
3. Also under the ATM VC Setting, you see two numbers, the VCI and VPI values. Do not
change the VPI or VCI value unless you have been told to do so. These numbers are used
to define a unique path for your connection. If you have been given specific settings for
this to configure, type in the correct values assigned by your ISP.
4. Set the Virtual Circuit setting to Enabled in the pull-down menu if it is not already
enabled.
5. Under Bridge Mode, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. For bride

Bridged IP VC-Mux.
6. If you have not been instructed to change the ATM (PVC) settings at the bottom of the
menu, leave these at the default settings. If you have been given new settings to configure,
type in the values for VPI and VCI. If you are setting up multiple connections, the
procedure for this is described in a separate section below.
7. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the
Apply button.
8. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go
into effect. To Save & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click
the Save & Reboot menu button. In the Save and Reboot menu, click the Reboot button
under Force the DSL-504T to system restart. The Router will save the new settings and
restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN connection.

account. This information is
stored on the computer, not
