3. Make the proper network configurations.

Each network interface is enabled immediately when you check the box next

to it.

• If you use a network cable connected to a home router (which is then

connected to your DSL/cable modem), enable LAN1.

• The most common scenario is for your computer to automatically obtain

network settings (i.e. DHCP). If this is the case, you don’t need to click Setup

for any LAN port. If this is not the case, click Setup to configure the static IP

settings manually.

• If you use a network cable connected directly to your DSL/cable modem (no

router in between), click Setup for xDSL/cable dial-up. This method is also

referred to as PPPoE. Choose whether the DSL/cable modem is connected

to your computer’s LAN port. Then enter the username and password for your

dial-up account.

Click OK to enable xDSL/cable dial-up and establish the PPPoE connection.

When PPPoE is enabled, the port it uses will automatically be unchecked and

grayed out.
