BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration — Basics
Chapter 3
Wizard setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard screens in the WebGUI.
Wizard overview
The setup wizard in the WebGUI helps you configure your device to access the
Internet. The second screen has three variations, depending on which
encapsulation type you use. Refer to your ISP checklist in the Nortel BCM50a
Integrated Router 252 — Fundamentals (NN47923-301) to know what to enter in
each field. Leave a field blank if you do not have the required information.
Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The BCM50a
Integrated Router supports the following methods.
ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only
implemented with the IP network protocol. IP packets are routed between the
Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be
understood in a bridged environment. For instance, the BCM50a Integrated
Router encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET
ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the ENET ENCAP
Gateway field in the second wizard screen. You can get this information from
your ISP.
