Appendix G - Connection Setup
Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process.
1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (ATM, PTM or Ethernet).
2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface.
The following sections describe each stage in turn.
G1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces
Every layer2 interface operates in one of three modes: Default, VLAN Mux or MSC.
A short introduction to each of these three modes is included below for reference.
It is important to understand the differences between these connection modes, as
they determine the number and types of connections that may be configured.
DEFAULT MODE
In this mode there is a 1:1 relationship between interfaces and WAN connections, in
that an interface in default mode supports just one connection. However, unlike the
multiple connection modes described below, it supports all five connection types.
The figure below shows the five connection types available in ATM default mode.
VLAN MUX MODE
This mode uses VLAN tags to allow for multiple connections over a single interface.
PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge are supported while PPPoA and IPoA connections are not.
The figure below shows multiple connections over a single VLAN Mux interface.
MSC MODE
Multi-Service Connection (MSC) mode supports multiple connections over a single
interface. As with VLAN Mux mode, PPPoA and IPoA connection types are not
supported, while Bridging is unavailable for Ethernet WAN interfaces. After adding
WAN connections to an interface, you must also create an Interface Group to
connect LAN/WAN interfaces (see section G3 ~ More About MSC Mode).
110
G1.1 ATM Interfaces
Follow these procedures to configure an ATM interface.
NOTE: The CT-5374 supports up to 16 ATM interfaces.

(5) For G2.5 IP over ATM (IPoA), go to page 134.
The subsections that follow continue the WAN service setup procedure.
118
G2.1 PPP over ETHERNET (PPPoE)
STEP 1: Select the PPP over Ethernet radio button and click Next. You can also
enable IPv6 by ticking the checkbox at the bottom of this screen.
STEP 2: On the next screen, enter the PPP settings as provided by your ISP.
Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
119
The settings shown above are described below.
PPP SETTINGS
The PPP Username, PPP password and the PPPoE Service Name entries are
dependent on the particular requirements of the ISP. The user name can be a
maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in
length. For Authentication Method, choose from AUTO, PAP, CHAP, and MSCHAP.
ENABLE FULLCONE NAT
This option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all
requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same
external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host,
by sending a packet to the mapped external address.
DIAL ON DEMAND
The CT-5374 can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of
time by selecting the Dial on demand checkbox . You must also enter an
inactivity timeout period in the range of 1 to 4320 minutes.
120
PPP IP EXTENSION
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it.
PPP IP Extension does the following:
• Allows only one PC on the LAN.
• Disables NAT and Firewall.
• The device becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC
through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
• The device extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the
LAN PC. i.e. the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
• The device bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless
the packet is addressed to the device’s LAN IP address.
• The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is
forwarded to the PC LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the
LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the
device has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
ENABLE NAT
If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this
checkbox . The NAT submenu will appear in the Advanced Setup menu after reboot.
On the other hand, if a private IP address is not used on the LAN side (i.e. the LAN
side is using a public IP), this checkbox should not be selected to free up system
resources for better performance.
ENABLE FIREWALL
If this checkbox is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the
Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox
should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance.
USE STATIC IPv4 ADDRESS
Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox . If
selected, enter the static IP address in the IPv4 Address field. Don’t forget to
adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration.
USE STATIC IPv6 ADDRESS
This option displays when IPv6 is enabled. Unless your service provider specially
requires it, do not select this checkbox . If selected, enter the static IP address in
the IPv6 Address field along with a value for Prefix Length. Don’t forget to adjust
the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration.
ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODE
When this option is selected, the system will put more PPP connection information
into the system log. This is for debugging errors and not for normal usage.
BRIDGE PPPOE FRAMES BETWEEN WAN AND LOCAL PORTS
(This option is hidden when PPP IP Extension is enabled)
When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this
option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it.
The CT-5374 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while
simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices.
121
ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY

G3 ~ More About MSC Mode
The procedure for WAN connection setup in MSC mode is as follows:
STEP 1: Create a Layer2 interface in MSC connection mode.
STEP 2: Add WAN connections to the interface (Bridge, PPPoE or IPoE).
STEP 3: Use 5.14 Interface Grouping to connect LAN and WAN interfaces.
These three steps are repeated below with screenshots added for reference.
STEP 1: Create a Layer2 interface in MSC connection mode.
STEP 2: Add WAN connections to the interface (Bridge, PPPoE or IPoE).
NOTES: If QoS is configured on the first MSC connection, it will be configured by
default for all subsequent connections.
If a MSC connection is removed every other MSC connection should be
removed to avoid potential configuration problems.
138
STEP 3: Use 5.14 Interface Grouping to connect LAN and WAN interfaces.
See the instructions in 5.14 Interface Grouping for help with this final step.
