DHCP Connection Setup

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the modem to automatically obtain the IP address from the
server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically assigned and is not known prior to
assignment.
To configure the modem for a DHCP connection:
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select DHCP and the DHCP connection setup page is displayed. Figure 4-7 illustrates a typical
DHCP configuration.
3. Give your DHCP connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In
this case the unique name is DHCP1.
4. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC). If you are not sure which to use, just use the default mode.
5. Specify the VPI and VCI settings. Your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these. In this case the DSL
service provider is using 0,35.
6. Select the quality of service (QOS). Leave the default value if your ISP did not provide this information.
If your DSL line is connected and your DSL/IPS provider is supporting DHCP, you can click on the Renew button
and the CPE will retrieve an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway address. At any time you can renew the
DHCP address by clicking on the Renew button.

To complete the connection you must now click the Apply button. The Apply button will temporarily save this
connection. To make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At
the System Commands page, click on Save All.
