Connecting the Modem to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the modem on your Local Area Network (LAN) and connect
to the Internet. It describes how to configure your DG632 ADSL Modem Router for Internet
access using the Setup Wizard, or how to manually configure your Internet connection.
What You Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare these three things before you can establish an Internet connection through
your modem:
1.
The modem connected to an ADSL line and a computer properly connected to the modem as
explained below.
2.
Active Internet service such as that provided by an ADSL account.
3.
The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your DSL account.
ADSL Microfilter Requirements
ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters to
filter out these signals before they reach your telephone.
