DSL-584T ADSL Router User Guide 

 

This specifies the connection type and the encapsulation method used for 
your Static IP Address connection. The options available are 

Bridged IP LLC

, 

Bridged IP VC-Mux

, 

Routed IP LLC

, 

Routed IP VC-Mux 

or 

IPoA

. 

This is the permanent global IP address for your account. This is the 

address that is visible outside your private network. Get this from your ISP. 

This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get this from your ISP. 

This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. It provides the 
connection to the Router for IP routed traffic that is outside your ISP’s 

network. That is, this will be the primary connection from the Router to 

most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your ISP. 

(IPoA connection only) 

This is not required for all IPoA connections. Check with your ISP for an 

ARP server IP address if this is necessary for your IPoA connection. 

This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service (DNS) 
used to match the named URL web address used by most browsers with 

the actual global IP address used for a web server. Usually this will be a 

server owned by the ISP. Get this IP address from your ISP. 

This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this IP address from your 

ISP. 

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to 
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The 

default setting (

1400

 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user 

may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic 

or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly 

recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect 

network traffic for better or worse.  

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-

down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows on a single computer 

to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and 

disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router 

is set up for multiple virtual connections.  

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features 
available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure 

settings in the Firewall Configuration window or the Filters window in 

the Advanced directory. 

 

 

The ATM settings in the WAN Settings windows for the different connection types can be used to adjust QoS 
parameters for ADSL clients. This may not be available to all ADSL accounts.
