Internet Access Using

P 662

For most Internet users having multiple computers want to share an Internet account for Internet access, they have to install
an Internet sharing device, like a router. In this case, we use the P662 which works as a general Router plus an ADSL
Modem. See the figure below for this setup.

- Set up your workstation

1. Ethernet connection

Connect the LAN ports of all computers and the Prestige to a HUB using a straight Ethernet cable.

2. TCP/IP configuration

Since the Prestige is set to DHCP server as default, so you need only to configure the workstations as the DHCP clients in the networking settings. In this case, the IP address of the computer is assigned by the Prestige. The Prestige can also provide the DNS to the clients via DHCP if it is available. For this setup in Windows, we check the option 'Obtain an IP address automatically' in its TCP/IP setup. Please see the example shown below.

- Set up your Prestige 662

The following procedure shows you how to configure your P662 as Router mode for routing traffic. We will use SMT menu to guide you through the related menu. You can use console or Telnet for finishing these configurations.

1. Configure P662 as router mode in Menu 1 General Setup.

Menu 1 - General Setup System Name= P662 Location= Contact Person's Name= Domain Name= Edit Dynamic DNS= No Route IP= Yes Bridge= No

2. Configure a LAN IP for the P662 and the DHCP settings in Menu 3.2-TCP/IP Ethernet Setup. The settings except of the DNS addresses shown below are the pre-configured defaults.

Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP Setup DHCP Setup DHCP= Server Client IP Pool Starting Address= 192.168.1.33 Size of Client IP Pool= 6 Primary DNS Server= 168.95.1.1 Secondary DNS Server= 168.95.192.1 Remote DHCP Server= N/A TCP/IP Setup: IP Address= 192.168.1.1 IP Subnet Mask= 255.255.255.0 RIP Direction= Both Version= RIP-1 Multicast= None IP Policies= Edit IP Alias= No

3. Configure for Internet setup in Menu 4-Internet Access Setup.

Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup ISP's Name= CHT Encapsulation= PPPoE Multiplexing= LLC-based VPI #= 0 VCI #= 33 ATM QoS Type= CBR Peak Cell Rate (PCR)= 0 Sustain Cell Rate (SCR)= 0 Maximum Burst Size (MBS)= 0 My Login= cso@hinet.net My Password= ******** Idle Timeout (sec)= 0 IP Address Assignment= Dynamic IP Address= N/A Network Address Translation= SUA Only Address Mapping Set= N/A Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

Key Settings:

Option | Description
Encapsulation | Select the correct Encapsulation type that your ISP supports. For example, RFC 1483.
Multiplexing | Select the correct Multiplexing type that your ISP supports. For example, LLC.
VPI & VCI number | Specify a VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and a VCI (Virtual Path Identifier) given to you by your ISP.
Single User Account | Set to Yes if you only have a single IP account for sharing with local computers.
IP Address Assignment | Set to Dynamic if the ISP provides the IP for the Prestige dynamically. Otherwise, set to Static and enter the IP in the following IP Address field.
IP Address | This field can not be configured if the ISP provides the IP for the Prestige dynamically. Otherwise, enter the IP that the ISP gives to you.
