You are now ready to configure your firewall to connect to the Internet. There are two ways you
can configure your firewall to connect to the Internet:
• Let the FWG114P auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it.
• Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it.
These options are described below. Unless your ISP uses DHCP, you will need the parameters
from your ISP you entered in "Record Your Internet Connection Information" on page 3.

How to Auto-Detect Your Internet Connection Type
