DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
To configure a Static IP type connection for the WAN, follow these steps:
1. Choose the Static IP Address option from the WAN Settings pull-down menu.
2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have been
instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the
values assigned for your account. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0 and
Enabled) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your
ADSL service. For more information, see the section on ATM VC Settings later in this manual.
3. Under the Static IP heading, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. This defines
both the connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options
are Bridged IP LLC, Bridged IP VC-Mux, Routed IP LLC, Routed IP VC-Mux or IPoA. If have not been
provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4. Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and (if available) Secondary DNS Server
IP address as instructed by your ISP. These are the global IP settings for the WAN interface. This is
the “visible” IP address of your account. Your ISP should have provided these IP settings to you. For
IPoA (Classic IP over ATM) connections you may need to type in an additional IP address for a ARP
Server Address. If you are using an IPoA connection, ask your ISP if it is necessary to use an ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) server.
5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to
change this (see table below).
6. NAT should remain Enabled. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one computer
for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple
virtual connections, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
7. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able
to use the features configured in the Firewall Configuration and Filters window located in the
Advanced directory. See the next chapter for more details on these windows.
8. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL
connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until
you have established the connection. See the section on ATM Traffic Shaping later in this manual for a
further description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
9. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
10. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
save and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the
System Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the
System.
11. Click OK when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.
12. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically
establish the WAN connection.
