BSNL Broadband + ADSL configuration ripped.

Login to the router device. It is advisable to change the default login password of your router. If you don’t know how? Click here.

Bsnl provides mainly 4 types of modem. Type I is the simple ADSL modem, I am using Type II wireless ADSL modem. I don’t know about the other two types. Or you may use your own ADSL modem but before doing that you have to configure your modem.

Open the interface setup where you would find 3 sections as shown:-

1. Internet.

Configure the Asynchronous Transfer mode virtual circuit ( ATM VC ). You can save your current configuration as any of the 8 permanent virtual circuit (PVCO – PVC7). Set the Virtual Path Identifier(VPI) to ‘0’ and Virtual Channel Identifier(VCI) to ‘35’.

Set the Quality of Service(ATM QoS ) to constant bit rate (CBR). You can connect either in the PPPOE or Bridge mode. Select encapsulation as Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet(PPPOA/PPPOE) mode to avoid dialing the connection every time you connect to the internet.

Set the username/password encapsulation as PPPOE LLC(Logical Link Control) and connection as ‘Always On’. IP address should be set to dynamic or as specified by your ISP. Turn Default Route to ‘Yes’ so that the connection is routed via your modem itself.

2. LAN.

 

You may change your router IP address in the LAN section.  Now setting the DNS can be done in several ways. You may choose auto discoverable, Open DNS*, DNS provided by BSNL or maybe DNS of any other Internet provider. I have used the first option.

*Many of us might like to use Open DNS:

208.67.222.222 (primary)
208.67.220.220 (secondary).

3. Wireless.

If you are using Wireless LAN turn the access point ‘On’ or else it is recommended to turn it ‘Off’ to avoid usage without your knowledge.

Save the Configuration. I have saved it as PVCO.

Now go to ‘Diagnostics’ section and check PVCO.

In many cases ATM OAM segment and end to end ping may fail but it won’t be any problem.

Now go to the Status section :-

If you are connected it will automatically retrieve the IP address default gateway and DNS server as shown above. Line state shows the present line state of your telephone or broadband line. It will be ‘Showtime’ for the connection to be Ok.

Try pinging Google server to get a reply. The round trip propagation can be used to analyze your present connection speed.

You are all set for surfing. :)

Maloncho Niwas Agartala

The mystery place was once famous for the ghostly figures seen at late nights.  It has also been serving as the hideouts for teens and night lovers until when the state government took the responsibility to rebuilt it. Local people say during the times of  Maharaja, the great Rabindranath Tagore use to stay here during his visit to Agartala. It is said that this bangalow has a secret underground passage to the Maharaja’s palace. For safety reasons one must not visit this place after dusk.  :o

Internet Banking – use virtual keyboard.

Identity hackers are always on the spree to install Key loggers without the knowledge of the user. Every key that is typed in into the physical keyboard is recorded as a log and is transmitted to the hacker eventually. Use of virtual keyboards can relieve you of this tension. The virtual keyboard is designed to protect your password from malicious “Spyware” and “Trojans”. Use of Virtual keyboard will reduce the risk of password theft.

Change BSNL broadband default login password?

If you have not yet changed your default password still now. Please do it ASAP.

How to change? Call your local BSNL Office and ask for the portal id to login to website for your broadband account management. The password for this account is the same as the default password provided by Dataone.

Also for enhancing your router/ADSL modem security you should change its default password especially if you are using a wireless modem.

How to change? Open 192.168.1.1 in the web browser.

 

Username/password will be admin/admin by default. Set new password as shown in picture below.

You are done. :)
