After any reset to factory settings you will need to make the following change using the web admin user interface in order to get the device to work properly as a straight modem. (Factory default http://192.168.1.1, your own ip address set to something suitable in that same /24 subnet, username=admin, password=admin.)</p> |

<li>1483 Bridged IP <b>VC-MUX</b>. Note: The leaner PPPoEoEoA + RFC2684’s [obsoletes RFC1483] “Bridged+<b>VC-MUX</b>” header option is more efficient than the alternative <em>LLC</em> option, depending on the length of packets being sent, although for some packet lengths the performance gain is zero.</li></ul> |

Note: the leaner PPPoEoEoA + RFC2684 [obsoletes RFC1483] section 6.2 + <b>VC-MUX</b> header option (“bridged PDUs: VC-MUX”) is always more efficient than or the same as the alternative <em>LLC</em> option. The efficiency improvement depends on the length of the packets being sent and for some packet lengths the performance gain is zero. Choose 1483 bridged VC-MUX aka PPPoE VC-MUX in preference to LLC if your exchange supports it. For example, choose 1483/bridged/PPPoE VC-MUX rather than LLC if you are using a BT 21CN line. |
