Reference Manual for the Model DG834 ADSL Firewall Router
3-10 Connecting the Router to the Internet
Note: If instead of the Setup Wizard menu, the main menu of the router’s Configuration
Manager as shown in Figure 3-15 appears, click the Setup Wizard link in the upper left to
bring up this menu.
2. You must select a country and language. Language choices are English, French, German, and
Italian. After you change the language, the remaining setup screens change to the language of
your choice.
3. Select Yes to allow the router to automatically determine your connection.
4. Click Next.
The Setup Wizard will now check for the following connection types:
• Dynamic IP assignment
• A login protocol such as PPPoE or PPPoA
• Classical IP over ATM (RFC1577)
• Fixed IP address assignment
Next, the Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and then display
the appropriate configuration page. If the Setup Wizard finds no connection, you will be
prompted to check the physical connection between your router and the ADSL line. When the
connection is properly made, the router’s Internet LED should be on.
5. The ADSL settings for the multiplexing method and VPI/VCI will update with the preset
defaults. The multiplexing method preset default settings will usually work. Only change the
multiplexing method if you are sure your ISP requires Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) or Virtual
Channel Identifier (VCI) settings that are different from the default values.
Incorrect VPI or VCI settings will prevent you from connecting to the Internet. To change
these settings, click the ADSL Settings link on the main menu. See “ADSL Settings” on page
3-19 for more details.
The procedures for filling in the configuration page for each type of connection follow below.
