section starting on page 50 for detailed installation instructions.

Broadband Modem Only

This section applies only in the instance that the broadband connection is used
exclusively with the DVC-1100 VideoPhone and there are no PCs or other devices
connected to the broadband modem. Broadband cable modems allow this type
of installation.
Recommended Procedure: Many ISPs act as DHCP servers and dynamically
assign a public IP address whenever the modem requests one. If your ISP has a
DHCP server, select the checkbox under the network settings that says,
"Automatically obtain IP address." By choosing this option, you are not required
to know the IP address, gateway, subnet mask, or DNS numbers. They will all
be filled in automatically.
If DHCP is not an option, all of the networking values will have to be manually
entered. Simply enter the public IP address, subnet Mask, gateway, and DNS
numbers given to you by the ISP into the appropriate network settings fields.
Potential Issues: In order for the DVC-1100 VideoPhone to function properly
over the Internet, there must exist a public IP address for the world to see. If
your ISP is acting as a NAT and assigning private IP addresses, you will have to
request a public IP address in order for your VideoPhone to be able to receive
calls.
