Configuration Guide
8.1. Before starting Network Setup
Please read this section carefully. There are a couple of things that YOU MUST
KNOW in order to setup your phone properly.
8.1.1.How you are connected to the Internet
(Identifying your Network Environment)
•
PPPoE (ADSL)
- ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It's a
type of DSL, where you connect to the Internet through an ADSL modem
(NOT your common dial up modem) connected to your common phone line.
You MUST be using an EXTERNAL PPPoE ADSL modem.
•
DHCP
- DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If you are
connected through cable TV, this is what you're using. You are connected to
the Internet through a cable modem (NOT your common dial up modem)
connected to your TV cable.
•
Fixed IP
- This is commonly called LAN (Local Area Network). If all you have
is a jack in the wall or a long cable slinking up to your desk and no modem
(ADSL, cable, or dial up) in sight, this is probably what you have.
8.1.2.Pre-requisites to connect to your network
(Network settings)
•
PPPoE (ADSL)
- You must know your ID and password.
If your ADSL provider has provided you with a fixed IP address you must
configure your videophone to ‘Fixed IP (you must know your IP address, subnet
mask address, and your gateway address).
•
DHCP
- You don't need to know anything else.
•
Fixed IP

DNS server address.
