1. Connect the attached ADSL device to the ADSL-equipped jack on the wall, using the RJ-11 phone cord that was provided with the kit. If you are using a microfilter at the wall jack, you must connect the RJ-11 DSL phone cable from the DSL port of the ADSL device to the DSL port of the microfilter.

NOTE: The ADSL device to which you are connecting will function as your WAN interface to the Internet. Be sure you have connected the ADSL device appropriately. If needed, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Use the Y-cable provided with your kit. Plug the Ethernet jack from the port marked UPLINK/E1 on the rear panel of VersaLink to the Ethernet port on the attached ADSL device, and then turn on the power switch of the attached ADSL device (if it is not already on).

NOTE: Later, in VersaLink’s Web pages, be sure to select WAN Uplink port mode to allow VersaLink to uplink to the ADSL device. When VersaLink is configured for WAN Uplink port mode, VersaLink’s DSL transceiver will not be used. The ADSL device to which VersaLink is connected will be your WAN interface to the Internet. LAN Ethernet port is VersaLink’s factory default setting, refer to section 14.2.3 for details.

3. Connect additional PCs to VersaLink using the Ethernet jacks marked E2, E3, or E4/DATA on the rear panel of

VersaLink; each jack serves as an Ethernet switch. (Additional Ethernet cables are not provided with the kit.)

4. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the VersaLink. Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then turn on the power (if it is not on).

5. Check to see if the VersaLink’s POWER LED is solid green. This indicates that VersaLink is powered on.

6. Check to see if the ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet connection is functioning properly. Check the ETHERNET LED for the Ethernet jack you are using on VersaLink.

7. After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 7, check to see if the VersaLink’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Internet link has been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)

Congratulations! You have completed the UPLINK/E1 installation for VersaLink. No software installation is required when using the uplink connection. Now proceed to section 8 to access VersaLink’s Web pages.

Bridge

Description

A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol such as Ethernet.

The modem does not have a WAN IP address in this mode.

The client PC will typically get an IP address from a DHCP server in the network or the IP address can be assigned to the client PC statically.

Bridge Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by which a bridged segment is terminated on a routed interface. Specifically, the Router is routing on an IEEE

Routed Bridge

802.3 or Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged

ATM. RBE was developed to address the known RFC1483 bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security.

The modem will get a WAN IP address through DHCP or can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem.

Each computer playing QuakeIII must use a different port number, starting at 27660 and incrementing by 1. You'll also need to do the following:

1. Right click on the QIII icon

2. Choose "Properties"

3. In the Target field you'll see a line like "C:\Program Files\Quake

III Arena\quake3.exe"

4. Add the Quake III net_port command to specify a unique communication port for each system. The complete field should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set net_port 27660

5. Click OK.

6. Repeat for each system behind the NAT, adding one to the net_port selected (27660,27661,27662)
