Chapter 5 Configuring Advanced Settings
Encapsulation (PPPoA only)
Select one of the encapsulation options, based on information received from the
ISP
.
Save & Apply
Click this button to save and apply the changes made in either of the “Broadband
Connection” windows.
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option if the
IP
service is configured to use
RFC 1483
Bridged or Routed
(used for configurations without a static
IP address
assigned by an
ISP
). In this mode,
the Modem will query the
ISP
to receive the
IP
address and routing information,
which will terminate at the Modem, as opposed to the
IP
address and routing infor-
mation being bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router
capabilities for the local area network (
LAN
).
Some
ISP
s need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain
Name . If this is the case, check with the
ISP
for a host name and domain name and
enter them in the “Broadband Connection via
DHCP
” screen. If the
ISP
does not
require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
☞
Note : Contact the
ISP
if unsure of the proper configuration.
