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 ISPs 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.
