Select Cable Modem, Modem, ADSL, or Direct as the method for connecting to your
ISP. Direct connections are where the SnapGear Internet Port is connected to a LAN
with another gateway to the Internet.

For cable modems, you need to enter your Cable Modem Service Provider. This is
usually Generic Cable Modem Provider.

If you use an external analog modem to connect to your ISP, you must also specify:

• The serial port connected to your modem. The SnapGear SOHO+ and SnapGear

PRO have two serial ports; the SnapGear LITE, LITE+, LITE2 and LITE2+ have
only one. The SnapGear PRO+ has one integrated modem and one serial port.

• The name of your ISP.

• The phone number used to dial your ISP.

• The username and password for your ISP account.
