Motorola 7.7.4 manual Select the IP Type

•VPI/VCI: These values depend on the way your ISP's equipment is configured. The default setting is 8/35. With this setting, the router will match the settings your ISP is using, with no input on your part. You probably would not need to change this.

•Protocol: The authentication and encapsulation protocol is determined by your ISP, often by the type of account that you have signed up for. Options here are PPPOE LLC, PPPOE VCMUX, ETHER LLC, IP LLC, PPPOA LLC, and PPPOA VCMUX.

•Bridging: Your Router can be turned into a simple bridge, if desired. However, it will no longer provide routing or security features in this mode.

•Concurrent Bridging/Routing: Your Router can bridge or route traffic, depending on the IP addresses, at the same time. When this mode is enabled, the Router will also bridge traffic from the LAN if it has a valid LAN-side address.

•PPPoE/PPPoA/DHCP Autosensing: The pull-down menu allows you to select an autosensing feature, or to disable it. Selecting between PPPoE/DHCP or PPPoE/PPPoA enables automatic sensing of your WAN connection type. If you select PPPoE/DHCP, the gateway attempts to connect using PPPoE first. If the Gateway fails to connect after 60 seconds, it switches to DHCP. As soon as it can connect via DHCP, the Gateway chooses and sets DHCP as its default. Otherwise, after attempting to connect via DHCP for 60 seconds, the Gateway switches back to PPPoE. The Gateway will continue to switch back and forth in this manner until it successfully connects. Similarly, selecting PPPoE/PPPoA causes the Gateway to attempt to connect by trying these protocols in parallel, and using the first one that is successful. If you choose to disable the feature, select Off.

•User Name and Password: Provided by your ISP.

•Confirm Password: Repeat your Password entry for confirmation

•Select the IP Type:

Dynamic IP - DHCP (Default) – Single Static IP Address –

Block of Static IP Addresses (Unnumbered Mode) –

•Static IP Address: Your service provider may tell you that the WAN IP Address for your Router is static. If so, enter the IP Address from your service provider in this field.

•IP Gateway: The IP Address of the default gateway, or peer address if using PPP. This is normally set to 0.0.0.0 for PPP connections.

•Primary DNS Server: The IP Address of the Primary Domain Name Server

•Secondary DNS Server: The IP Address of the backup Domain Name Server

•Connection Type: If using PPPoE, this is a choice to have either an uninterrupted con- nection or an as-needed connection. The type of service you have signed up for with your ISP. Options are On-Demand, Always ON, and Manual.
