Setup your P-660R-Tx under bridge mode

If the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet, that means only the

traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be filtered. In

this case, we use P-660R-Tx which works as an ADSL bridge modem to

connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit

only one computer to access the Internet.

Set up your workstation

(1) Ethernet connection

To connect your computer to the P-660R-Tx's LAN port, the computer must have

an Ethernet adapter card installed. For connecting a single computer to the

P-660R-Tx, we use an Ethernet cable.

(2) TCP/IP configuration

In most cases, the IP address of the computer is assigned by the ISP

dynamically so you have to configure the computer as a DHCP client which

obtains the IP from the ISP using DHCP protocol. The ISP may also provide the

gateway, DNS via DHCP if they are available. Otherwise, please enter the

static IP addresses for all that the ISP gives to you in the network TCP/IP

settings. For Windows, we check the option 'Obtain an IP address

automatically' in its TCP/IP setup, please see the example shown below.
