4.3 Setup
To set up your router with a basic configuration, select Setup. Figure 3 illustrates the setup page. The page is broken
into two subsections: the WAN configuration and the LAN configuration.
Figure 3 (Setup page)
Before configuring the router, there are several concepts that you should be familiar with on how your new router
works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these concepts, as it should make the configuration much
easier.
4.3.1 Wide Area Network connection
The Wide Area Network (WAN) connection is also referred to as a broadband connection. The WAN connection is
different for every WAN supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.
4.3.2 Local Area Network connection
You have your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the
router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.
4.4 Configuring the WAN
Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the
modem must be configured. Depending upon your service provider, you will need some (or all) of the information
outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN:
• Your DSL line VPI and VCI
• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
