Internet Service
Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer different types of Internet
access accounts. Typically, you will have the option to choose either a
Single User or a Multiple User account. NetDSL routers are
compatible with both types of accounts. With a Single User account,
which is the same as terminal adapter or digital modem account, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) option should be selected during
the configuration of your NetDSL router. If you ordered a Multiple
User account from your ISP, they will assign a specific IP Address for
your router and a range of IP Addresses for your network. You will
need this information when you configure the NetDSL router. If you
order a Multiple User account, then the NAT option should not be
selected.
Information You Will Need
To configure your router, you will need to receive information from
your ISP and the remote network to which you connect, such as an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a company server. Consult the
sections below for a detailed list of information on utilizing the
Ethernet interface and ADSL interface. If you are unfamiliar with any
of the terms listed, please see Section A:
