Configured as a Modem
Select this option to use the Modem as a modem, connected to a single computer.
Configured as a Router - Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE or PPPoA
Select one of these options to allow the Modem to use the Point-to-Point over
Ethernet (
PPPoE ) or Point-to-Point over ATM ( PPPoA ) protocol.
If a User Name and Password was entered during the Installation Buddy, it
should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via
PPPoE/PPPoA ” screen. If
not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable, contact the ISP .
Configured as a Router - Obtain an IP through DHCP
Select this option (used for cable modem configurations without a Static IP
assigned by an ISP ) to allow the Modem to query the ISP and receive IP address and
routing information. 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 “Broadband Connection via DHCP ”
screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
