The following description also applies when you use unnumbered connections.

refer to “Permanently connecting to the Internet through a broadband line (PPPoE/CATV)” (page 33).
Before configuring the settings
Note
• After canceling/changing your provider contract please be sure to delete or reconfigure the connection
configuration of the product. Failure to observe this could result in unexpected charges from your telephone
carrier or provider.
• A constant Internet connection increases the risk of illegal access or attack via the Internet. Be sure to use
the product with extra attention to your network security. For more information, see “Enhancing security”
(page 92).
• The descriptions in this manual use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9 screens as examples. For other
environments, you have slightly different screen displays, though operations stay the same.
You need the setup document supplied by the provider.
To configure destinations and connect to the Internet, you are required to have the following information
provided by your provider (some connection modes may not need all of the information).
• User ID (authentication ID and account name)
• Passwords (authentication password and initial password)
• IP address
• Netmask
• Name server addresses (DNS server address, name server IP address, and DNS server IP address)
• Default gateway address
