Configuring for DSL-based Internet service
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service is available from various ISPs. It can provide
always connected and extremely fast (broadband) access to the Internet. You can
connect the Magnia SG20 to a DSL modem using its public Ethernet port. When
configuring the Magnia SG20 for a DSL Internet connection, you will need information
such as:
❖
Whether your ISP has provided a specific IP address (static IP), or whether your
server will obtain a new IP address each time it connects (DHCP). If you don’t know,
use DHCP or call your ISP.
❖
Whether your ISP uses PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) to connect to its network. If so,
you may need to enter an account name and password.
❖
If your ISP has given you a static IP, you will also need the following information:
❖
IP address
❖
Subnet mask
❖
Primary DNS Server
❖
Secondary DNS Server (optional)
❖
Default gateway (optional)
❖
The Magnia SG20 establishes a default computer name to be used with the public
Ethernet port. Some ISPs require that you assign your computer a name that they
specify. If your ISP does this, you will need the specific computer name in addition to
the static IP information indicated above.
To configure your system for DSL-based access to the Internet:
1
Connect the DSL modem to the public Ethernet port at the back of the Magnia SG20
using a standard Ethernet (CAT5) cable.
2
From a client computer, click the
Admin
icon to start the Administration Web site.
Select the
Network
tab.
A screen describing your current configuration appears.
