Configuring UTSTARCOM WA3002G4

I was able to set up always on connection with this modem. With this method I do not need to dial the connection every time I boot the PC.

Mind you , this was done on a Desktop with an Ethernet connection to WA3002G4. I am yet to test this with a Wireless Laptop although I have enabled and encrypted WAN. I "think" this should be a multiuser setup.

Here is what I have done.

Go into modem setup from browser (192.168.1.1, admin/admin)

Click Advanced Setup> WAN Setup
Click "Edit" on First Row showing 0/35 under VPI/VCI column.
Uner ATM PVC Configuration
VPI: [0-255]=35
VCI: [1-65535]=35

Enable VLAN Tagging = do not select
Service Category: = UBR without PCR
click next
Select "PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" and Encapsulation Mode = "LLC/SNAP-Bridging"
Click Next

Under PPP Username and Password
PPP Username: = <Your Dataonne UserName>
PPP Password: = <Your Dataone Password>
PPPoE Service Name: = Leave this Blank
Authentication Method: = Auto
Do not select anything else on this page.

Enable NAT = yes
Enable Firewall =yes
Enable IGMP Multicast = yes
Enable WAN Service = yes
Service Name =pppoe_0_35_1 (or anything else)
Click next

Now "WAN Setup - Summary" should look like this
VPI / VCI: 0 / 35
Connection Type: PPPoE
Service Name: pppoe_0_35_1
Service Category: UBR
IP Address: Automatically Assigned
Service State: Enabled
NAT: Enabled
Firewall: Enabled
IGMP Multicast: Enabled
Quality Of Service: Disabled

Click "Save".
Click "Save and Reboot" on next page

**Restart your PC and WA3002G4**

Go to "Network Connections"

Select "Local Area Connection" and "1394 Connection" at the same time (hold down control key)
Right click and select "Bridge Connections".
Let windows Create Network Bridge. After few seconds it will shows status as "Connected".
