Hi
I am new in DSLAM configuration. I have got ADSL project to do for a small group of students so that they can do their adsl labs. We have one ZyXEL IP Express DSLAM model is
IES 1000. and one LINKSYS Wireless - G, ADSL Gateway with 4 ports switch. I could configure the ADSL gateway but I couldn't manage to get the connection from the DSLAM. My big problem so far is how DSLAM real work? does it have routing capabilities? can DSLAM provide DHCP for clients who are connected to it? When I check in ZYXEL DSLAM configuration I dont see option of making DHCP or how will DSLAM give ip address to the clients?
This is how I can imagine how it should be:- clients connect to DSLAM through ADSL modem in my case through LINKSYS ADSL wireless gateway.and then the DSLAM multiplex all connections from different clients to the internet.SO in this way the DSLAM should provide ip address either dynamically or staticaly. But when I check ZyXEL configuration somehow I dont find these features than I can configure for DHCP or static ip addreses.
Please I will appreaciate some help on this matter.
Thanks in advance
 
make up your own IP and subnet to apply to the dslam if it is internal ip under your lan control.
