Other settings should remain unchanged. Having dealt with all this, save the settings and use the World Wide Web.

Setup in Router

The second modem mode Promsvyaz M-200a is used for distribution to other devices. There is nothing difficult in the task, as in the other cases. You can get to the web interface in the same way (enter the numbers 192.168.1.1 in the address bar). Then log in and authenticate. From this point on, the configuration process will differ from Bridge. First of all, select PPoE / PPPoA in the ISP field. Next, enter the login and password in the Password and Username fields, issued in the provider agreement. In addition, it is important to establish the VCI and VPI values ​​(learn from the company providing the services).
