DHCP Connection Setup

Option	Description
En­capsulation­:	Select the method of encapsulation
	used by your ISP from the drop-down
	list box. Choices vary depending on the
	mode you select in the Mode field.
IP Address:	The IP address assigned by an external
	DHCP server.
Mask:	The subnet mask assigned by an exter-
	nal DHCP server.
Gateway:	The gateway assigned by your DHCP
	server.
Default Gateway:	Enable this if you want to use this pro-
	file connection as the default gateway

Bridge Settings
En­capsulation­:	Select the method of encapsulation
	used by your ISP from the drop-down
	list box. Choices vary depending on the
	mode you select in the Mode field.
Select LAN:	Select the LAN group to which you want
	to bridge this connection to. Having a
	Bridged Connection places the modem
	into a ‘dumb’ mode. The modem con-
	nects to the ISP, but does not perform
	authentication, routing or firewalling
	functions. You will need to have an addi-
	tional router plugged into a LAN port of
	your modem to perform these functions.
