KEEBOX Wireless 11n Router
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet.
Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged
connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another
computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to
establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not
necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in
the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP
settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a
gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a
number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection
software or NIC configuration that may be required.
Information you will need from your ADSL service provider
Username
This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service
provider uses this to identify your account.
Password
This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service
provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account.
WAN Setting / Connection Type
These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the
Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default settings. You may need to specify one of the
following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in
parenthesis):
• PPPoE/PPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux)
• Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux)
• IPoA/MER (Static IP Address) (Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC,
1483 Routed IP VC-Mux or IPoA)
• MER (Dynamic IP Address) (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux)
Modulation Type
ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal
frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation used for their service. The default
DSL modulation (ADSL2+ Multi-Mode) used for the Router automatically detects all types of ADSL,
ADSL2, and ADSL2+ modulation.
Security Protocol
This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you
log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP and CHAP protocols.
VPI
Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in
conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data path between your ADSL service
provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections,
you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional
connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface.
