This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to  
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
„
„
„
„
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Notice to Users of the United States Telephone Network  
The following notice applies to versions of the modem that have been FCC Part 68 approved.  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for  
Terminal Attachment (ACTA). On the bottom side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a  
product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the Telephone  
Company.  
This equipment is intended to connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network through a Universal Service Order  
Code (USOC) type RJ11C jack. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone  
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant  
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It has been designed to be connected to a compatible  
modular jack that is also compliant.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (or REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a  
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming  
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that  
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. The REN for this  
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the  
REN without a decimal point. For example, 03 represents a REN of 0.3.  
If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company will notify you in advance that temporary  
discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the Telephone Company will notify the  
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is  
necessary.  
The Telephone Company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the  
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for you to  
make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with the modem, refer to the  
repair and warranty information in this document.  
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may request that you disconnect  
the equipment until the problem is resolved.  
The user may make no repairs to the equipment.  
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service  
commission or corporation commission for information.  
If the site has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of the modem  
does not disable the alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your  
Telephone Company or a qualified installer.

Definitions  
Before you install or use your new router, you may find it helpful to understand the  
following terms:  
„
A bridge is a device that forwards any message from one part of a network to  
another.  
„
„
A router is a device that forwards messages according to their network  
addresses.  
ADSL is Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a version of DSL that allows a  
higher speed for information coming from the Internet to your PC  
(“downstream”) than it does for information going to the Internet from your PC  
(“upstream”).  
®
„
„
ReachDSL is a version of DSL that works on lines too long or too noisy for  
ADSL.  
®
ADSL/R is technology that combines ADSL and ReachDSL in one device.  
The Model 6388 is a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem that may be set by you  
to run in bridge or router mode. Because it is most frequently used as a router, that  
is how it is referred to in this manual. It supports ADSL/R.

Overview  
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the router to a computer or  
a LAN and to the Internet using DSL. The first part provides instructions to set up  
the hardware, and the second part describes how to prepare your PC for use with  
the router. Refer to Chapter 3, Using the Web Interface for router configuration  
instructions.  
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to DSL service with your Internet  
service provider (ISP).  
Connecting the Hardware  
Shut down your PC and any other equipment before connecting it to the router. To  
connect your router:  
Procedure  
1. Connect the supplied modular phone cable to the LINE port, and connect the  
other end of the cable to your phone jack.  
2. If you would like to use a phone in the vicinity of the router, connect it to the  
PHONE jack of the router using the cord that came with your telephone. The  
router has an internal POTS filter, so you do not need to install one here.  
3. Use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the router. Attach  
one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of the router  
and connect the other end to the Ethernet port or Network Interface Card  
(NIC) in your PC.  
Connect any other PCs, hubs, and switches to the remaining LAN ports. Either  
a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used: the router  
determines and adjusts to the type of signal required.  
4. Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of  
the device. Next:  
— If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or  
a power strip.

Configuring Your PC’s IP Address  
Before you start to access the router using the Ethernet connection, you must  
configure your PC to use DHCP, or change your PC's TCP/IP address to be  
192.168.1.x, where x is any number between 2 and 254, with a subnet mask of  
255.255.255.0.  
Your router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1.  
Assigning an IP Address to your PC Automatically by DHCP  
To use the router's DHCP feature, click in the radio button labeled “Obtain an IP  
address automatically” instead of “Use the following IP address” in the following  
procedures.

To set up LAN and WAN options not available on the Quick Start screens, select  
Setup from the Home page. Figure 3-6 shows the Setup page. The menu is  
broken into two sections: the WAN configuration and the LAN configuration.  
Figure 3-6. Setup Options  
Wide Area Network Connection  
The DSL (LINE) connection is the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. It is also  
referred to as a broadband connection. The requirements for the WAN connection  
depend on your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most of the configuration you will  
perform will be in this area.  
Local Area Network Connection  
On the other side of your router are 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.  
If you connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the router, your  
LAN consists of that PC.  
Saving Changes  
Note that the Apply button temporarily saves changes you make. To make  
changes permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System  
Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.

3. Using the Web Interface  
Configuring the WAN  
Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface and the WAN  
interface, the WAN side of the router must be configured. Depending upon your  
ISP, you will need some or all of the information listed below before you can  
properly configure the WAN:  
„
„
„
Your DSL line’s Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)  
Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing mode  
Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)  
If you use PPPoA or PPPoE, you also need these values from your ISP:  
Your username and password  
„
If you use multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (as described  
in RFC 1483), you may need these values from your ISP:  
„
„
„
„
Your DSL fixed Internet IP address  
Your subnet mask  
Your default gateway IP address  
Your primary DNS IP address  
Since multiple users can use the router, the router can simultaneously support  
multiple connection types. You must set up different profiles for each connection.  
The router supports the following protocols:  
„

3. Using the Web Interface  
New Connection  
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your router can support up to 8  
different virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you  
may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the router to pass  
data correctly.  
PPPoE Connection Setup  
PPPoE is defined in the Internet standard RFC 2516. It is a method of  
encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a  
method of establishing a network session between network hosts. It usually  
provides a mechanism of authenticating users.  
To configure the CPE for PPPoE:  
Procedure  
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE  
connection setup is displayed.  
2. At the Type field, select PPPoE from the drop-down list. The PPPoE  
Connection Setup page is displayed.  
3. Give your PPPoE connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces  
and cannot begin with numbers.  
4. Select a PVC Sharing type of Disable, Enable, or VLAN.  
5. Select or enter a VPI and VCI (as supplied by your DSL service provider or  
your ISP), or click in Auto PVC. (Auto PVC causes the router to perform  
automatic VPI/VCI detection as defined in DSL forum TR-068.) For VLAN,  
specify a VLAN ID and priority.  
6. Select NAT and Firewall if you want them active for this connection. Firewall  
and NAT services must be enabled. See Firewall/NAT Services on page 3-22.  
7. Select the quality of service (QOS). Leave the default value if your ISP did not  
provide this information. Depending on the QoS you select, you may also  
enter:  
— PCR (Peak Cell Rate)  
— SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate)  
— MBS (Maximum Burst Size)  
— CDVT (Cell Delay Variation Tolerance)  
Following is a description of the different options:  
„
Username - The username for the PPPoE access. This is provided by your  
DSL service provider or your ISP.  
„
Password - The password for the PPPoE access. This is provided by your DSL  
service provider or your ISP.

Idle Timeout - Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link  
has no activity detected for the specified number of seconds. This field is used  
in conjunction with the On Demand feature. To disable the timeout feature,  
enter a zero in this field.  
„
„
Authentication – Specifies the authentication protocol: Auto (the protocol is  
selected by the PPPoE server), PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), or  
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol).  
Keep Alive - When the On Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies  
the length of time to keep the connection from being shut down for inactivity by  
sending PPP LCP echoes to the PPP server. To ensure that the link is always  
active, enter a zero in this field.  
„
„
MTU - The Maximum Transmission Unit the DSL connection can send. It is a  
negotiated value. The maximum specified value is 1500, although some  
DSL/ISP providers require a larger value. The minimum MTU value is 128.  
On Demand - Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no  
activity is detected after the specified idle timeout value.  
„
„
Default Gateway – Specifies whether a default gateway is used.  
Enforce MTU - Check this box if you experience problems accessing the  
Internet over a PPPoE connection. This feature will force all TCP traffic to  
conform with PPP MTU by changing TCP Maximum Segment Size to the PPP  
MTU.

PPPoA Connection Setup  
PPPoA is defined in the Internet standard RFC 2364. It is a method of  
encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are carried over the DSL line.  
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a method of establishing a network session  
between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users.  
LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact  
your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.  
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your router to act as the termination point for  
the PPPoA connection. This frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users  
to utilize the PPPoA connection.  
To configure the router for PPPoA:  
Procedure  
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE  
connection setup is displayed.

The TSML connection (VPI 0, VCI 34) examines incoming packets, looking for  
ICMP Echo Requests. If the TSML connection receives five ICMP Echo Request  
packets with the same destination IP address within five seconds, it adopts the  
destination IP address. The address can then be used to access the router.  
The TSML connection is automatically configured. The TSML Connection screen  
shows the settings, but they cannot be altered and saved.

3. The DHCP server is enabled when “Enable DHCP Server” is selected. If you  
enable it:  
— Specify a Start IP address. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP  
server starts issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the  
router's IP address value. For example, if the router's IP address is

3. Using the Web Interface  
192.168.1.1 (the default) than the Start IP address must be 192.168.1. 2  
or higher.  
— Specify an End IP address. The End IP Address is the last address the  
DHCP server can issue. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit  
of 254. The maximum IP address for a router using the default address is  
192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users  
will not get access to network resources.  
— Specify a Lease Time. The Lease Time is the amount of time a network  
user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP  
address. The amount of time is in units of seconds; the default value is  
3600 seconds (1 hour).  
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within  
the same subnet as the router's IP address. For example, if the router's IP address  
is 192.168.1.1 (the default), and you change the DHCP Start and End IP  
addresses to be 192.128.1.2 and 192.128.1.100, you will not be able to  
communicate with the router if your PC has DHCP enabled.  
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the router supports the DHCP relay  
function. When the router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP  
addresses to the LAN clients. When the router is configured as DHCP relay, it is  
responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiating between the  
DHCP clients and the server.  
If the DHCP server and relay are turned off, you must configure the IP address,  
subnet mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign  
the same IP address to more than one computer. Your router must be on the same  
subnet as the computers.  
The Apply button will temporarily save these settings. To make the change  
permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands.  
At the System Commands page, click on Save All.  
Changing the Router's IP address  
Your router's default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1 and  
255.255.255.0, respectively. This subnet mask allows the router to support 254  
users. Since the DHCP server issues a maximum of 255 addresses, there is not  
much advantage to changing the subnet mask to increase the number of  
addresses. Further, remember that if you change your router’s IP address and you  
have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same subnet.  
The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not  
addressed to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the  
default gateway address.  
The Hostname can be any alphanumeric word beginning with a letter and  
containing no spaces. The domain name is used to in conjunction with the host  
name to uniquely identify the router.

Port Forwarding  
Using the Port Forwarding page you can provide local services (such as web  
hosting) for people on the Internet. When users send this type of request to your  
network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate  
PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP-assigned addresses, but remember  
that a DHCP address is dynamic. If you were configuring a Netmeeting server, for  
example, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP  
address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to  
access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The port  
forwarding feature will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address.  
You can use the LAN Clients screen to reserve an IP address for a DHCP client.

Bridge Filters  
The bridge filtering mechanism provides a way for the users to define rules to  
allow or deny frames through the bridge based on source MAC address,  
destination MAC address and/or frame type. When bridge filtering is enabled,  
each frame is examined against the defined filter rules sequentially, and when a  
matched is determined, the appropriate filtering action (allow or deny) is  
performed. The bridge filter will only examine frames from interfaces which are  
part of the bridge itself. Twenty filter rules are supported with bridge filtering.  
To enable Bridge Filters:  
Procedure  
1. From the Home screen, click on Advanced.  
2. Under Advanced, select Bridge Filters. The Bridge Filters screen appears, as  
shown in Figure 3-26, Bridge Filters.  
The User Interface for Bridge Filter allows the user to add, edit, and delete, as well  
as enable the filter rules. To add rules, define the source MAC address, destination  
MAC address, and frame type with the desired filtering action (allow or deny), and  
click on the Add button. The MAC address must be in a xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format,  
with 00-00-00-00-00-00 or blanks meaning any address.  
To edit or modify an existing filter rule, select the desired rule created previously in  
the Edit select box. The selected filter rule appears in the top section, as with the  
Add procedure. Make the desired change to the MAC address, frame type and  
access type, and click on Apply.  
To delete a filter rules, select the filter rule entry to delete in the Delete selection  
box. Note that multiple deletions are possible. Once all the desired filter rules are  
selected for deletion, click on the Apply button. The Select All select box can also

be used to delete the entire filter rule. It provides a quick method of selecting all  
filter rules for deletion.  
The Enable Bridge Filters button allows you to enable or disable bridge filtering. It  
can be set or unset during any add, edit, or delete operation. It can also be set or  
unset independently by pressing the Apply button.  
Figure 3-26. Bridge Filters  
Note: The bridge filter table contains three hidden rules. These rules are entered  
automatically by the system to ensure that you don't lock yourself out of the  
system. The first rule allows all ARP frames through the system. The second rule  
allows all IPv4 frames with the destination MAC address of the router to go  
through. The third rule allows all IPv4 frames with the source MAC address of the  
router to go through.

Static Routing  
If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a  
static route between the networks. A static route is a predefined pathway that  
network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use  
static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the  
router.  
To enable Static Routing:  
Procedure  
1. From the Home screen, click on Advanced.

3. Specify the New Destination IP. This is the address of the remote LAN network  
or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the  
host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP  
domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP,  
while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an  
IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a  
full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.  
4. Specify the Gateway address. This is the IP address of the device that allows  
contact between the router and the remote network or host.  
5. Specify the Metric. This determines the maximum number of steps between  
network nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the  
network (such as a router or switch).

Dynamic Routing  
Dynamic Routing allows the CPE to automatically adjust to physical changes in  
the network. The CPE, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets'  
route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the  
destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other  
routers on the network.  
To enable Dynamic Routing:  
Procedure  
1. From the Home screen, click on Advanced.

3. Using the Web Interface  
3. Specify the Protocol. The protocol is dependent upon the entire network. Most  
networks support RIP v1. If RIP v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in  
RIP v1 format. If RIP v2 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format  
using subnet broadcasting. If Rip v1 Compatible is selected, routing data will  
be sent in RIP v2 format using multicasting.  
4. Specify the Direction. This determines the direction that RIP routes will be  
updated. Selecting In means that the router will only incorporate received RIP  
information. Selecting Out means that the router will only send out RIP  
information. Selecting both means that the router will incorporate received RIP  
information and send out updated RIP information.

Ping Test  
Once you have your router configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can ping  
the network. If you have your PC connected to the router via the default DHCP  
configuration, you should be able to ping the network address 192.168.1.2. If your  
ISP has provided their server address you can try to ping that address. If the pings  
for both the WAN and the LAN side are successful, and you have the proper  
protocols configured, you should be able to access the Internet.  
To run a ping test:  
Procedure  
1. From the Home screen, under the Tools title, click on Ping Test.  
2. Specify the target IP Address that you want to ping.  
Optionally, specify:  
— TOS Byte value. This is part of the IP header of the ping packet. Valid  
values are 0 to 255.  
— Packet size. Valid values are 36 to 65507.  
— Number of echo requests. Valid values are 1 to 9.  
3. Click on Test.  
By default, when you select ping test, the router will ping itself three times. In  
Figure 3-47, the router passed the Ping Test; this basically means that the TCP/IP  
protocol is up and running. If this first test does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is  
not loaded. In this case, restart the router.

6. From your PC, can you ping the router? Assuming that the router has DHCP  
enabled and your PC is on the same subnet as the router, you should be able  
to ping the router.  
7. Can you ping the WAN? Your ISP should have provided the IP address of their  
server. If you can ping the router and your protocols are configured correctly,  
you should be able to ping the ISP's network. If you cannot ping the ISP's  
network, make sure you are using the correct protocols with the correct  
VPI/VCI values.  
8. Make sure NAT is enabled if you are using private addresses on the LAN  
ports.  
You Cannot Connect to the Router  
1. Check to see that the power LED is green and that the network cables are

This typically means that either the kernel or flash file system is corrupted. Notify  
your service representative.  
Status LED Continues to Blink  
This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot  
establish a valid connection. The main cause of this is that you are too far away  
from the central office. Contact your DSL service provider for further assistance.  
Status LED is Always Off  
1. Make sure you have DSL service. You should receive notification from your  
ISP that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed  
by listening to the phone line: you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do  
not hear high-pitched noise, contact your ISP.  
2. Verify that the phone line is connected directly to the wall and to the line input  
on the router. If the phone line is connected to the phone side of the router or  
you have a splitter installed on the phone line, the DSL light will not come on.

What is a Firewall?  
A firewall is protection between the Internet and your local network. It acts as the  
firewall in your car does, protecting the interior of the car from the engine. Your  
car's firewall has very small opening that allow desired connections from the  
engine into the cabin (gas pedal connection, etc), but if something happens to your  
engine, you are protected.  
The firewall in the router is very similar. Only the connections that you allow are  
passed through the firewall. These connections normally originate from the local  
network, such as users web browsing, checking e-mail, downloading files, and  
playing games. However, you can allow incoming connections so that you can run  
programs like a web server.  
What is NAT?  
NAT stands for Network Address Translation. Another name for it is Connection  
Sharing. What does this mean? Your ISP provides you with a single network  
address to access the Internet with. However, you may have several machines on  
your local network that want to access the Internet at the same time. The router  
provides NAT functionality that converts your local network addresses to the single  
network address provided by your ISP. It keeps track of all these connections and  
makes sure that the correct information gets to the correct local machine.  
Occasionally, there are certain programs that don't work well through NAT. Some  
games and other specialty applications have a bit of trouble. The router contains  
special functionality to handle the vast majority of these troublesome programs  
and games. NAT does cause problems when you want to run a server. See the  
DMZ section below.  
What is a DMZ?  
DMZ really stands for Demilitarized Zone. It is a way of separating part of your  
local network so that is more open to the Internet. Suppose that you want to run a  
web server, or a game server. Normal servers like these are blocked from working  
by the NAT functionality. The solution is to isolate the single local computer into a  
DMZ. This makes the single computer look like it is directly on the Internet, and  
others can access this machine.

A. Terminology  
Your machine isn't really directly connected to the Internet, and it really has an  
internal local network address. When you provide the server's network address to  
others, you actually provide the address of the router. The router fakes the  
connection to your machine.  
You should use the DMZ when you want to run a server that others will access  
from the Internet. Internal programs and servers (like print servers) should not be  
connected to the DMZ.  
What is a Router?  
The Internet is so large that a single network cannot handle all of the traffic and  
still deliver a reasonable level of service. To overcome this limitation, the network is  
broken down into smaller segments or subnets that can deliver good performance  
for the stations attached to that segment. This segmentation solves the problem of  
supporting a large number of stations, but introduces the problem of getting traffic  
from one subnet to another.  
To accomplish this, devices called routers are placed between segments. If a  
machine wishes to contact another device on the same segment, it transmits to  
that station directly using a simple discovery technique. If the target station does  
not exist on the same segment as the source station, then the source actually has  
no idea how to get to the target.  
One of the configuration parameters transmitted to each network device is its  
default gateway. This address is configured by the network administrators and it  
informs each personal computer or other network device where to send data if the  
target station does not reside on the same subnet as the source. If your machine  
can reach all stations on the same subnet (usually a building or a sector within a  
building), but cannot communicate outside of this area, it is usually because of an  
incorrectly configured default gateway.
