DHCP Connection Setup
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the ADSL Router to automatically obtain the
IP address from the server. This option is commonly used in situations where the IP address is
dynamically assigned and is not known prior to assignment.
To setup DHCP, select WAN Setup >New Connection. From Type: select DHCP. This will reveal the
DHCP Connection Setup screen.
Enter the DHCP connection name: the name must be unique, must not contain spaces and must not
begin with a number [e.g. DHCP_1].
NAT Option: Network Address Translation is on by default [recommended].
Firewall [SPI]: Firewall is on by default [recommended].
Allow Incoming Ping: Unchecked by default [recommended]. Check only if this function is required
for testing purposes.
Select the Quality of Service [QoS] type; if in doubt leave as default.
Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC) according to information provided by the ISP.
