Dynamic IP Address for WAN
When the Router is configured to use Dynamic
IP Address assignment for the WAN connection,
a server on the ISP's network assigns the global
IP address settings used for the WAN connection.
This is method is simply Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) for the WAN. The Router is
configured to be a DHCP client and obtain its IP
settings automatically for the DHCP server
owned by the ISP. Follow the instruction below
to configure the Router to use Dynamic IP
Address assignment for the WAN connection.
1. Click to select the Dynamic IP Address
radio button listed in the WAN Settings
options list. The menu will change to
offer a different set of configuration
options.
2. Select the Connection Type from the
pull-down menu under the Dynamic IP
heading. Your ISP should provide this
information to you. The available option
are 1483 Routed VC-Mux, 1483 Routerd
LLC, IpoA VC-Mux, IpoA LLC and IpoA
(1577). If have not been provided
specific information for the Connection
Type setting, leave the default setting.
3. Under the ATM VC Setting heading, do
not change the PVC (Pvc0) index for the
initial connection.
4. 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.
5. Set the Virtual Circuit setting to Enabled in the pull-down menu if it is not already enabled.
6. Under Dynamic IP, choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. The available
encapsulation methods are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.
7. Set NAT to Enabled unless you have been told to NAT must be Disabled for your account
8. If you have not been instructed to change the ATM settings at the bottom of the menu, leave these at the
default settings. If you have been given new settings to configure, select the Service Category and type
in the values for PCR and VCI in Kbps.
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 & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Misc (Miscellaneous)
menu button. In the Miscellaneous menu, click he Save & Reboot button. The Router will save the new
settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN connection.

in place of the Router' s actual MAC address for the purpose of Address Resolution by the
ISP' s DHCP server. To implement this feature click on the Clone MAC Address button before
