3.2How to Set Up Your X5v to Use a Static IP Address

Most DSL service providers use DHCP, also known as dynamic IP addressing, rather than static IP addresses. If your provider is using 1483 Bridged or Routed IP encapsulation, however, you have the option of using a static IP address. Typically, you must request (and pay extra) for a static IP address. To set up your X5v to use a static IP address, go to the WAN Settings page, and fill out these fields.

Encapsulation

Enter the encapsulation mode supplied by your

 

provider. Remember, it must begin with either

 

1483 Bridged IP or 1483 Routed IP; otherwise,

 

you cannot use a static IP address.

VPI

Supplied by your service provider. You can refer

 

to the tables beginning on page 69 if you have

 

misplaced or forgotten your VPI setting.

VCI

Supplied by your service provider. You can refer

 

to the tables beginning on page 69 if you have
