Manual Setup
Use the topics and procedures below to manually set up your modem router.
What You Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare the following before you can set up your firewall:
• Active Internet service provided by an ADSL account.
• The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your ADSL account.
– ISP Login Name and Password
– ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses
– Fixed or Static IP Address
• ASDL microfilters as explained below.
• Your computers set to DHCP.
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
Internet Configuration Requirements
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need one or more of these
configuration parameters to connect your firewall to the Internet:
• Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)/Virtual Channel Indentifier (VCI) parameters
• Multiplexing Method
• Host and Domain Names
Understanding ADSL Microfilters
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.
Note: If you purchased the modem router in a country where a microfilter is not included,
you must acquire one.
