Chapter 4 Configuring Advanced Settings

Specify a Static IP Address

Select this option if the

ISP

service is configured to use

RFC

1483 Bridged or

Routed using a static

IP

Address. Enter the

IP

Address, Subnet Mask, and Default

Gateway Address provided by the

ISP

in the “Broadband Connection via Static

IP

Address” screen, which causes the

IP

address and routing information to termi-

nate 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

).

Note: Contact the

ISP

if unsure of the proper configuration.

Encapsulation

If the Gateway is configured to obtain an

IP

address through

DHCP

or to specify a

static

IP

address, select the appropriate encapsulation option used by the ISP (

RFC

1483

Bridged or

RFC

1483

Routed).

Note: Contact the

ISP

if unsure of the proper configuration.
