The flow chart of bridge mode setup:
This modem can be setup as one of two SHDSL working mode: CO side(Central Office) and CPE
side (Customer Premises Equipment). For connection with DSLAM, the SHDSL modem working
mode is CPE. For LAN to LAN connection, one side must be CO and the other side must be
CPE.

The screen will prompt the new configured parameters. Checking the parameters and Click
Restart The modem will reboot with the new setting or Continue to configure another parameters.
For bridge modem, it will act as a pass-through device and allow the workstations on your LAN to
have public addresses directly on the internet.
EoA (Ethernet-over-ATM) protocol is commonly used to carry data between local area networks
that use the Ethernet protocol and wide-area networks that use the ATM protocol. Many
telecommunications industry networks use the ATM protocol. ISPs who provide DSL services
often use the EoA protocol for data transfer with their customers' DSL modems.
EoA can be implemented to provide a bridged connection between a DSL modem and the ISP. In
a bridged connection, data is shared between the ISP's network and their customer's as if the
networks were on the same physical LAN. Bridged connections do not use the IP protocol. EoA
can also be configured to provide a routed connection with the ISP, which uses the IP protocol to
exchange data.
Advanced setup contains SHDSL, WAN, Bridge, VLAN, Ethernet and STP parameters.
4.2.1 SHDSL
You can setup the Annex type, data rate and SNR margin for SHDSL parameters in SHDSL. Click
SHDSL
There are three Annex types: Annex A (ANSI), Annex B (ETSI) and Annex AB . If the modem
must connect to your ISP, please check them about it. If your modem configed to point to point
application, you must choose one of the three types according to you need.
You can setup the SHDSL data rate in the multiple of 64kbps. The data rate repesent by N vaule.
N can use 1 to 36, such that 64Kbps to 2304Kbps. The default data rate is 2304Kbps (n=36).
It can set SHDSL as Adaptive mode when you set Data Rate is 0. The modem will adapt the data
rate according to the line status.
This is an index of line connection quality. You can see the actual SNR margin in STATUS SHDSL.
The larger is SNR margin, the better is line connection quality.
The range of SNR Margin is -10 to 10.
If you set SNR margin in the field as 3, the SHDSL connection will drop and reconnect when the
SNR margin is lower than 3. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect
for better line connection quality.
The screen will prompt the parameters that will be written in NVRAM. Check the parameters
before writing in NVRAM.
Press Restart to restart the modem working with new parameters or press Finish to setup another
parameter.
The modem can support up to 8 PVCs. WAN 1 was configured via BASIC menu except QoS. If
you want to setup another PVCs such as WAN 2 to 8, those parameters are setup on the pages of
WAN under ADVANCED. On the other hand, you dont need to setup WAN except you apply two
or more Internet Services with ISPs.
Protocol: You can disable or enable this WAN ports. When enable, there have only one protocol
can use: Ethernet over ATM. For Ethernet over ATM , IP adrress , subnet mask and ATM
parameter must be set up.
4.2.2.2 VPI
VPI: (Virtual Path Identifier) is for set up ATM Permanent Virtual Channels(PVC).The valid range
for VPI is 0 to 255.
4.2.2.3 VCI
VCI: (Virtual Channel Identifier is for set up ATM Permanent Virtual Channels(PVC). The valid
range for VCI is 32 to 65535 ( 0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic.)
VC-mux (VC-based Multiplexing): Each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit. VC-based
multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM
VCs is fast and economical.
LLC (LLC-based Multiplexing): One VC carries multiptle protocols with protocol identifying
information being contained in each packet header. Deapite the extra bandwidth and processing
overhead, this method may be advantagrous if it is not practical to have a sepatate VC for each
carried protocol.
QoS (Quality of Service) class : The Traffic Management Specification V4.0 defines ATM service
cataloges that describe both the traffic transmitted by users onto a network as well as the Quailty of
Service that the network need to provide for that traffic. There have four class for choice: UBR,
CBR, rt-VBR and nrt-VBR. Select CBR to specify fixed bandwidth for voice or data traffic. Select
UBR for applications that are non-time sensitive, such as e-mail. Slect VBR for bursty traffic and
bandwidth sharing with other applications.
UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) is the simplest service provided by ATM networks. There is no
guarantee of anything. It is a primary service used for transferring Internet traffic over the ATM
network.
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is used by connections that requires a static amount of bandwidth that is
avilable during the connection life time. This bandwidth is characterized by Peak Cell Rate (PCR).
Based on the PCR of the CBR traffic, specific cell slots are assigned for the VC in the schedule
table. The ATM always sends a signle cell during the CBR connections assigned cell slot.
VBR-rt (Varible Bit Rate real-time) is intended for real-time applications, such as compressed
voice over IP and video comferencing, that require tightly constrained delays and delay variation.
VBR-rt is characterized by a peak cell rate (PCR), substained cell rate (SCR), and maximun burst
rate (MBR).
VBR-nrt (Varible Bit Rate non-real-time) is intended for non-real-time applications, such as FTP,
e-mail and browsing.
QoS SCR (Substained Cell Rate): The sustained rate at which you expect to transmit data, voice
and video. Consider SCR to be the true bandwidth of a VC and not the lone-term average traffic
rate. The range of SCR is 64kbps to 2400kbps.
QoS MBS (Maximum Burst Size): Refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the
peak rate. The range of MBS is 1 cell to 255 cells.
The screen will prompt the parameters that will be written in NVRAM. Check the parameters before
writing in NVRAM.
Press Restart to restart the modem working with new parameters or press Finish to setup another
parameter.
If you want to filter the designated MAC address of LAN PC to access Internet, press Add to
establish the filtering table. Put the MAC address in MAC Address field and select Filter in LAN
field.
If you want to filter the designated MAC address of WAN PC to access LAN, press Add to establish
the filtering table. Key the MAC address in MAC Address field and select Filter in WANs field.
When you want using this table of current MAC entries, click Enable .Otherwise, click Disable .
Press Finish in the bottom of web page to review the bridge parameters.
The screen will prompt the parameters that will be written in NVRAM. Check the parameters before
writing in NVRAM.
Press Restart to restart the modem working with new parameters or press Continue to setup
another parameter.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than
one group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the
same group.
With MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among
the subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the
network resources of another on the same LAN.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more
manageable logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets
go to each every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast
domain.
The IEEE 802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and
administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure.
The modem supports two types of VLAN: 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN and Port-Based VLAN.
User can configure one of them to the modem.
For setting 802.1Q VLAN click the 802.1Q Tagt-Based VLAN. The screem will prompt as
following.
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domin thus increase network
performance through reduced boardcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by
adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination
MAC address and its associated port.
For setting Port-Based VLAN, Click Port-Based VLAN, The screem will prompt as following:
When using the port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user
or system attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the
same VLAN. The network administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port
configuration is static and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual
reconfiguration.
The default setting is all ports (LAN, WAN1 to WAN8) connected together which means all ports
can communicate with each other. That is, there are no virtual LANs. The option is the most
flexible but the least secure.
As with other VLAN approaches, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other
VLAN domains on the network. After a port has been assigned to a VLAN, the port cannot send to
or receive from devices in another VLAN.
The Ethernet port is an auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed
and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
User can also to manually set the Ethernet port speed and duplex modes. The default setting is
auto (Auto Sense) attempts to determine a speed that matches the computer. If the speed and
duplex settings are already known then they should be set here.
This is an auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cable.
The default setting is Auto Sense, the other selection are 100Base-TX full duplex,100Base-TX
half duplex, 10Base-T full duplex and 10base-T half duplex.

Press reset button can reset to zero vaule of all display data and re-capture again.
Bridge ID: The bridge ID of a configuration message is an 8-byte field. The six low order bytes are
the MAC address of the switch. The high order two-byte (unsigned 16-bit integer) field is the bridge
priority number.
Designated Root ID: The unique Bridge Identifier of the Bridge assumed to be the Root, this
parameter is used as the value of the Root Identifier parameter in all CBPDUs transmitted by the
Bridge.
Root Port: Identifies the Port through which the path to the Root is established, and is not
significant when the Bridge is the Root and is set to zero. It is the Port Identifier of the Port that
offers the lowest Cost Path to the Root
Root Path Cost: The Cost of the Path to the Root from this Bridge, this is equal to the sum of the
values of the Designated Cost and Path Cost parameters held for the Root Port. When the Bridge
(LN) Learning: This is when the modem creates a switching table that will map MAC addresses to
port number.
(LS) Listening: This is when the modem processes BPDUs that allow it to determine the network
topology.
(F) Forwarding: When a port receives or sends data. In other words, this is operating normally.
(D) Disabled: This is when the network administrator has disabled the port.
(B) Blocking: this means the port was blocked to stop a looping condition.
This session introduces security and simple network management protocol (SNMP) and time
synchronous.
4.4.1 Security
For system secutiry, suggest to change the default user name and password in the first setup
otherwise unauthorized persons can access the modem and change the parameters.
There are three ways to configure the modem: Web browser, telnet and serial console.
For greater security, change the Supervisor ID and password for the modem. If you dont set them,
all users on your network can be able to access the gateway using the default IP and Password.
You can authorize five legal users to access the modem via telnet or console. There are two UI
modes: menu driven mode and line command mode to configure the modem.
Legal address pool will setup the legal IP addresses from which authorized person can configure
the modem. This is the more secure function for network administrator to setup the legal address
of configuration.
There are two UI mode, command and menu mode, to setup the modem. We will not discuss
command mode in this manual.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides for the exchange of messages between a
network management client and a network management agent for remote management of network
nodes. These messages contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes in
order to obtain statistics, set configuration parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP
communications can occur over the LAN or WAN connection.
The modem can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP
community strings to implement SNMP security.
This modem support both MIB I and MIB II.
Press Modify to modify the community pool. You can setup the access authority.
SNMP trap is an informational message sent from an SNMP agent to a manager. Click Modify to
modify the trap host pool.
Version: select version for trap host. (Version 1 is for SNMPv1; Version 2 for SNMPv2).
IP Address: type the trap host IP address
Community: type the community password. The community is setup in community pool.
The browser will prompt the configured parameters and check it before writing into NVRAM.
Press Restart to restart the gateway working with the new parameters and press Continue to
setup other parameters.
Time synchronization is an essential element for any business, which relies on the IT system. The
reason for this is that these systems all have clock that is the source of timer for their filing or
operations.
For synchronization with PC, select Sync with PC. The modem will synchronize the time with the
connecting PC.
SNTP is the acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, which is an adaptation of the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used
when the ultimate performance of the full NTP implementation.

5.1.2 Telnet
Make sure the correct Ethernet cable connected the LAN port of your computer to this modem. The
LAN LNK LED indicator on the front panel shall light if a correct cable is used. Starting your Telnet
client with VT100 terminal emulation and connecting to the management IP of modem.
Type the command line on DOS mode: telnet 192.168.0.1
Wait for the login prompt appears. Input User and Password after login screen pop up:
For serial console and Telnet management, the modem implements two operational interfaces:
Command Line Interface (CLI) and menu driven interface. The CLI mode provides users a simple
interface, which is better for working with script file. The menu driven interface is a user-friendly
interface to general operations. The command syntax for CLI is the same as that of the menu
driven interface. The only difference is that the menu driven interface shows you all of available
commands for you to select. You dont need to remember the command syntax and save your
time on typing the whole command line.
The following figure gives you an example of the menu driven interface. In the menu, you scroll
up/down by pressing key I / K, select one command by key L, and go back to a higher level of
menu by key J.
For example, to show the system information, just logon to the modem, move down the cursor by
pressing key K twice and select show command by key L, you shall see a submenu and select
system command in this submenu, then the system will show you the general information.
Before changing the configuration, familiarize yourself with the operations list in the following table.
The operation list will be shown on the bottom field of the window.
When enter to menu on the following. All of the configuration commands are placed in the
subdirectories of Enable protected by supervisor password. On the other hand, unauthorized user
cannot change any configurations but viewing the status of the modem and using ping command
to make sure the modem and their Ethernet cable is working and ready.

Blocking - A port that would cause a switching loop, no user data is sent or received but it may go
into forwarding mode if the other links in use were to fail and the spanning tree algorithm
determines the port may transition to the forwarding state. BPDU data is still received in blocking
state.
Listening - The switch processes BPDUs and awaits possible new information that would cause it
to return to the blocking state.
Learning - While the port does not yet forward frames (packets) it does learn source addresses
from frames received and adds them to the filtering database (switching database)
Forwarding - A port receiving and sending data, normal operation. STP still monitors incoming
BPDUs that would indicate it should return to the blocking state to prevent a loop.
Disabled - Not strictly part of STP, a network administrator can manually disable a port

5.11.1 SHDSL
You can setup the SHDSL parameters by the command shdsl. Move the cursor >> to shdsl
and press enter.
N*64:
You can setup the data rate by the multiple of 64Kbps where n is from 1 to 36.
It can set SHDSL as adaptive mode when you set Nx64 vaule is 0. The modem will adapt the data
rate according to the line status.
Type:
There are three of SHDSL Annex types: Annex-A, Annex-B and Annex-AB.
If the modem must connect to your ISP, please check them about it. If your modems configed to
point to point application, you must choose one of the three types according to which line rate you
need.
Margin:
Generally, you cannot need to change SNR margin, which range is from -10 to 10. SNR margin is
an index of line connection. You can see the actual SNR margin in STATUS SHDSL. The larger is
SNR margin; the better is line connection quality. If you set SNR margin in the field as 3, the
SHDSL connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR margin is lower than 3.
When using adaptive mode, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line
connection.

5.11.2 WAN
The modem supports 8 PVC, private virtual circuit, and so you can setup eight WAN, such as
WAN1 to WAN8. Move the cursor >> to wan and press enter.
You can disable this WLAN port or set the protocol: EoA (Ethernet over ATM).
For Ethernet over ATM, you must setup IP address and subnet mask.
There is an unique VPI and VCI value for Internet connection supported by ISP. The range of VIP
is from 0 to 255 and VCI from 0 to 65535.
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) : for set up ATM Permanent Virtual Channels(PVC).
VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) : for set up ATM Permanent Virtual Channels(PVC).
You can setup virtual circuit quality of service(VC QoS) using qos command. The modem supports
UBR, CBR, VBR-rt and VBR-nrt. Move the cursor to qos and press enter.
UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) is the simplest service provided by ATM networks. There is no
guarantee of anything. It is a primary service used for transferring Internet traffic over the ATM
network.
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is used by connections that requires a static amount of bandwidth that is
avilable during the connection life time. This bandwidth is characterized by Peak Cell Rate (PCR).
Based on the PCR of the CBR traffic, specific cell slots are assigned for the VC in the schedule
table. The ATM always sends a signle cell during the CBR connections assigned cell slot.
VBR-rt (Varible Bit Rate real-time) is intended for real-time applications, such as compressed
voice over IP and video comferencing, that require tightly constrained delays and delay variation.
VBR-rt is characterized by a peak cell rate (PCR), substained cell rate (SCR), and maximun burst
rate (MBR).
VBR-nrt (Varible Bit Rate non-real-time) is intended for non-real-time applications, such as FTP,
e-mail and browsing.
PCR (Peak Cell Rate) in kbps: The maximum rate at which you expect to transmit data, voice and
video. Consider PCR and MBS as a menas of reducing lantency, not increasing bandwidth. The
range of PCR is 64kbps to 2400kbps
SCR (Substained Cell Rate): The sustained rate at which you expect to transmit data, voice and
video. Consider SCR to be the true bandwidth of a VC and not the lone-term average traffic rate.
The range of SCR is 64kbps to 2400kbps.
MBS (Maximum Burst Size): The amount of time or the duration at which the modem sends at
PCR. The range of MBS is 1 cell to 255 cells.
Gateway
You can setup 20 sets of static bridge in static command. After entering static menu, the screen
will prompt as below:
You can delete and modify MAC entry with delete and modify command. For viewing all MAC
entry listing, use list command.
5.11.4 VLAN
Virtual LAN (VLAN) is defined as a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so
that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located
on a number of different LAN segments. Because VLAN is based on logical instead of physical
connections, it is extremely flexible.
You can setup the Virtual LAN (VLAN) parameters in vlan command. The modem support the
implementation of VLAN-to-PVC only for bridge mode operation, i.e., the VLAN spreads over both
the COE and CPE sides. The unit supports up to 8 active VLANs with shared VLAN learning (SVL)
bridge out of 4096 possible VLANs specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
To active the VLAN function, move the cursor >> to mode and press enter. The products
support two types of VLAN: 802.11q and Port-Based.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: setup vlan active <Disable|8021Q|Port>
Message: Please input the following information.
VLAN Mode:
VLAN Mode Disable 802.1Q Tag VLAN Port Based VLAN
The IEEE 802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and
administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure. Port-Based VLANs are
VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the associated ports. If you dont use
VLAN ,set to Disbale.

To assign PVID (Port VID), move the cursor >> to pvid and press enter. The port index 1
represents LAN and ports index 2 to 9 represents WAN1 to WAN8 respectively. VID value is the
group at which you want to assign the PVID of the port.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: setup vlan pvid <1~9> <1~4094>
Message: Please input the following information.
To modify the link type of the port, move the cursor to link_mode and press enter. There are two
types of link: access and trunk. Trunk link will send the tagged packet form the port and Access
link will send un-tagged packet form the port. The port index 1 represents LAN and ports index 2 to
9 represents WAN1 to WAN8 respectively. According to the operation mode of the device, link type
of WAN port is automatically configured. If the product operates in bridge mode, the WAN link type
will be trunk, and in routing mode, access.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: setup vlan link_mode <1~12> <Access|Trunk>
Message: Please input the following information.
With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user or system
attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the same
VLAN. The port based setting performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration is static and
cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
For Port Based VLAN, user must set up the table using 802.11Q methods. But dont care the value
of VID , PVID or link type.
To view the VLAN table, move the cursor to list and press enter.
5.11.5 STP
STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol) defined in the IEEE 802.1D, is a link management protocol that
provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an Ethernet
network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two stations.
Multiple active paths between stations cause loops in the network. If a loop exists in the network
topology, the potential exists for duplication of messages. When loops occur, some switches see
stations appear on both sides of the switch. This condition confuses the forwarding algorithm and
allows duplicate frames to be forwarded.
To provide path redundancy, Spanning-Tree Protocol defines a tree that spans all switches in an
extended network. Spanning-Tree Protocol forces certain redundant data paths into a standby
(blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if
Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree
topology and reestablishes the link by activating the standby path.
Spanning-Tree Protocol operation is transparent to end stations, which are unaware whether they
are connected to a single LAN segment or a switched LAN of multiple segments.
Once you enable the STP feature, you can see the STP status will follow IEEE 802.1d standard to
work. The working steps are Blocking, Listening, Learning and forwarding.
