restarting.
If the Connect on Demand feature has been disabled, click the
Connect
button to initiate the PPP connection via
the ADSL WAN interface. The “handshake” process will take a few seconds.
In the PPPoE or PPPoA Configuration widow, viewing the

confirmed by observing the LED indicators on the front panel of the device.
Disconnect PPP
For PPP connections. the WAN connection can be terminated at any time by clicking on the
Disconnect
button
in the PPPoE or PPPoA Configuration window. It is recommended that you disconnect the ADSL connection
and change the user name and password used to access the web-based manager. Then set up the rest of your
network.
Connect with IPoA (RFC 1577)
IP over ATM connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider will give you IP
settings information if needed. Some IPoA connections function like peer-to-peer connections and therefore do
not require IP settings on the WAN interface.
Connect with RFC 1483
Upon restarting the device, it will serve as a bridge, and therefore it will not have any IP (Layer 3) function on
the WAN interface. Your network service provider will instruct you on what further steps are needed to establish
the WAN connection. You may have to install software on your PC or you may be required to alter the IP
settings of the NIC adapter on your PC.
