PPP IP Address
The IP address to be used during a PPP
session. This defaults to the IP address
of the interface.
Use the following static IP address
(Default) This is the IP address of your
Modem on your local network. This IP
address is specified on all computers
on your network as the Gateway IP
address. The IP address is also the IP
address you type into your browser lo-
cation bar to login to your modem’s web
interface.
Note: If Server and Relay are turned off you need to assign IP addresses within
the same range to the PCs connected to the modem else they will not
be able to communicate with the modem. For example, if your mo-
dem’s Ethernet interface address is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 you need to assign static addresses starting at 192.168.1.2
up to 192.168.1.253.
If you disable the DHCP server in the Modem you will need to either manually (stati-
cally) assign IP address information to each computer or use another device/com-
puter as DHCP server.
Note: It is not recommended that you have more than one DHCP server enabled
on your network.
