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 |
| misplaced or forgotten your VCI setting. |
DHCP client enable | You must uncheck this box. It must be disabled. |
