AAM6030BI User Manual 1. Introduction Congratulations on becoming the owner of a AAM6030BI CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Your LAN (Local Area Network) will now be able to access the Internet via the CPE's ADSL connection. This User Manual will show you how to set up the AAM6030BI CPE, and how to customize its configuration to get the most out of this product. 1.1 Features & System Requirements z Features • Equipped with a 4 Port 10/100 Ethernet • Connects multiple PCs to the Internet with just one WAN IP Address (when configured in router mode with NAT enabled) • Configurable through user-friendly web pages • Supports Single-Session IPSec and PPTP Pass-Through for Virtual Private Network (VPN) • Several popular games are already pre configured. Just enable the game and the port settings are automatically configured. • Configurable as a DHCP Server on Your Network • Compatible with virtually all standard Internet applications • Industry standard and interoperable DSL interface • Simple web based status page displays a snapshot of your system configuration, and links to the configuration pages • Downloadable flash software upgrades • Support for up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC) • Support for up to 8 PPPOE sessions • Layer 2 Ether switch (not a hub) • Allow PVC assignment to the individual Ethernet Ports (i.e 0,35 -> Ethernet Port 1, 0,36 -> Ethernet Port 2, etc) o The modem must support the ability to map PVC's to physical Ethernet ports. This will likely be implemented via VLAN to associate the Port to the PVC. The VLAN would then be only locally significant, i.e it is untagged in both directions and does not exist in the DSLAM realm or in the customer network realm. The most important thing is to prevent multicast and broadcast traffic that hits any given port from being broadcast to all ports. A clean approach to achieve this is to segregate each VLAN into a separate bridge table. This restricts all flooding to the bridge group. • PVC assignment must be operational in bridged mode (RFC 1483/2684) • Wall mounted/hanged support. z System Requirements In order to use the AAM6030BI CPE for Internet access, you must have the following: f ADSL service subscription from your ISP. f One computer containing an Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseT network interface card (NIC). f (Optional) An Ethernet hub/switch, if you are connecting the device to several computers on an Ethernet network. f For system monitoring or configuration using the supplied web-based program: a web browser such as Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or later. 4 4
