zVPI and VCI: Determine the unique data path your modem uses to communicate with your ISP.
zBridge: Enables or disables bridging between the device and your ISP.
zIGMP: Can be used to enable the WAN interface to pass Internet Group Management Protocol messages it receives to the LAN PCs. You must enable the LAN or USB interfaces for IGMP.
zIP Address and Subnet Mask: If your ISP has provided a public IP address to your LAN,
enter the address and the associated subnet mask in the boxes provided. (Note: In bridge configurations, the public IP address may be entered on your PC rather than on the ADSL/Ethernet router; check with your ISP.).

zGateway IP Address: Specifies the IP address that identifies the ISP server through which your Internet connection will be routed.
zPPP Username and Password: The username and password you use to log in to your
ISP. (Note: this is not the same as the user name and password you used to log in to Configuration Manager.)
zUse DNS: Specifies whether the DNS server addresses that your LAN will use should be supplied dynamically via the PPP connection each time you connect to the ISP.
If you click Disable, you must configure DNS addresses manually on each PC or in the fields below.
