Default device settings
In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the DSL Modem can provide a
variety of services to your network. The device is preconfigured with default settings for
use with a typical home or small office network.
The table below lists some of the most important default settings; these and other
features are described fully in the subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network
configuration, review these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your network.
Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these
settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance.
WARNING
We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the
default configuration.
