Specifying TCP/IP Settings
This Appendix explains how to specify TCP/IP settings for Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers.
There are several situations in which you must change your computer’s TCP/IP settings:
•ALL USERS: If you want to log into the Zoom Configuration Manager, you must first change your computer’s TCP/IP settings to work with the modem’s internal IP address. This is required because your ADSL Bridge modem uses 1483 Bridged encapsulation as its protocol. See the table in step 1 of To access the Web interface of your ADSL Bridge modem on page 27 for the values you need to specify.
•WINDOWS USERS: If you are using a Windows computer, you only have to specify TCP/IP settings if you have a static IP address (or when logging into the Zoom Configuration Manager, as explained above.) If you are using dynamic IP addressing, the default TCP/IP settings on your Windows computer are sufficient. However, if you are troubleshooting your modem connection, you may want to verify these settings. The appropriate settings are described in Windows TCP/IP Settings on page 22.
•MACINTOSH AND LINUX USERS: If you are using a Macintosh or Linux computer, you must specify TCP/IP settings regardless of whether your Internet service provider is using dynamic or static IP addressing. (You must also specify them if you are logging into the Zoom Configuration Manager, as explained above.) The appropriate settings are described in Macintosh TCP/IP Settings on page 16 and Linux TCP/IP Settings on page 18.
