Static Connection Setup - Paradyne Hotwire 6211 User Manual

Static Connection Setup

A static connection is used whenever a known static IP is assigned. The accompanying information such as the subnet
mask and the default gateway should also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can also be
specified. These servers give you access to other web servers. The valid IP addresses range is 1.0.0.0 to
223.255.255.254.
To configure the modem for a Static connection:
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default Static connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select Static. The Static Connection Setup page is displayed. Figure 4-8 illustrates a typical
Static configuration.
3. Give your Static connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In
this case the unique name is STATIC1.
4. Optionally enable Network Address Translation (NAT) and the Firewall options.
5. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC). If you are not sure which to use, just use the default mode.
6. Based upon the information your ISP provided, enter your assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway
(if provided), and Domain Name Services (DNS) address (if provided). 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.
7. Select the quality of service (QOS). Leave the default value if your ISP did not provide this information.
8. Set the mode to Bridged or Routed as instructed by your ISP.
