Field Description
Internet Connection Type
The gateway supports five connection types:

Automatic Configuration DHCP (Default)—Select this
option to enable the DCHP server on your network to
assign an IP address to your gateway. This method
ensures that your gateway has a unique IP address within
range of the subnet.
Note : Your service provider may give you other
instructions to use any other option.

Static IP —Select this option if you want to manually
assign an IP address. If you select this option, you will
need to assign an unused address within range of the
subnet. When you select this option, the IP address of
your gateway will not be managed by the DHCP server.

PPPoE —Select this option if you want to configure your
gateway to use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
(PPPoE).

PPTP —Select this option if you want to configure your
gateway to use the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP).
 L2TP —Select this option if you want to configure your
gateway to use the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).
