Network Connections
Possible network connections are divided into 3 basic modes as described below:
•Gateway can be assigned with a Public IP Address
•Gateway can be installed under the existing NAT
•Gateway can be assigned with a Public IP address and serve as an IP sharing router.
Gateway Assigned with a Public IP Address
The VoIP gateway will have a Public IP address for its Internet connection regardless of whether it is a static IP address, DHCP (using a Cable Modem), or PPPoE (Dialup / ADSL).
The following diagram shows a typical network connection in which broadband devices, such as an ADSL router or Cable modem, need to work in bridged mode so that the gateway is able to obtain a public IP address either through PPPoE, DHCP or static IP.
Gateway IP Settings  | Need to be set up as static IP, DHCP, or PPPoE  | 
NAT/STUN Settings | Unnecessary (Disabled) | 
DDNS Settings | Unnecessary (Disabled)  |
