Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
PPP Auto Connect
If
PPP auto connect is activated (by clicking in the appropriate check box), the
Gateway will attempt to automatically redial the PPP connection if it is dropped
or disconnected during an online session. Actiontec recommends turning PPP
Auto Connect on.
Encapsulation (PPPoA only)
Select one of the encapsulation options, based on information received from
the
ISP .
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option if the IP service is configured to use RFC 1483 Bridged or Routed
(used for configurations without a Static IP assigned by an ISP ). In this mode, the
Gateway will query the Internet Service Provider ( ISP ) to receive the IP address
and routing information, which will terminate at the Gateway, as opposed to the IP
address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This
allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (
LAN ).
Some ISP s need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain
Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and
enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP ”
screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.

Note: Contact the ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
