Parameter		Description

Connection Type		Identifies the method by which the gateway connects to the
		Internet Service Provider (ISP). The methods can be:
		• PPPoE

	Default Gateway	Default gateway is a server that assigns an IP address to your gateway for

		resolution. DNS allows Internet users to specify a name (domain name) to

		address of the Web page.

	Host Name	Host name is a label that is configured on the gateway.
	Domain	Domain associates your gateway with your ISP on the broadband link.
