Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Modem User Manual

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 Modem 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 Modem, 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 Modem 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.

Unnumbered Mode/VIP Mode

If a block of public static IP addresses was purchased from the ISP, select Unnumbered Mode by clicking in the appropriate check box. Then, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask in the “Modem Address” and “Unnumbered Subnet Mask” text boxes below the “Unnumbered IP Address.” Click Next, then click Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
