using 0,100. Also select the Quality of Service (QoS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
If your ADS L is connected and your ADSL Provider/ISP is supporting DHCP, you can click the renew button and the gateway will retrieve an IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address. At anytime, you can renew the DHCP address by clicking on the renew button; in most cases, you will never have to use this button.

To complete the connection, you must now click the Apply button. The Apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent, you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All.
4.4.1.5 Static Connection Setup
Static is used whenever a known static IP is assigned. The accompanying information such as the Subnet mask and the gateway should also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can also be specified. These servers would enable you to have access to other web servers. Valid IP address range is from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
To configure the ADSL router for a Static connection, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default Static connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select Static and the Static connection setup page is displayed; Figure 8 illustrates a typical Static configuration. Give your Static connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case, the unique name is called STATIC1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure, just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your ADSL Provider or ISP will supply these; in this case the ADSL Provider is using 0,35. Also select the Quality of Service (QoS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information. You can also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) and the Firewall options. If you are unsure, leave these in the default mode.
