Using the DVC-1000 with Routers, Gate-
ways, or Broadband Modems (continued)
Broadband Modem, Multiple PCs and a Hub
Commonly found in small offices, home offices, or homes with more than one PC where
multiple public IP addresses are available.
In order to install the DVC-1000 Video Phone as another device behind a hub assign
an available public IP address to the Video Phone.
Refer to the Broadband Modem Only section, below, for detailed installation
instructions.
Broadband Modem, Multiple PCs and a Router
Commonly found in small offices, home offices, or homes with more than one PC where
only one public IP address is available.
Refer to the Using a Router/Home gateway on the previous page for detailed
installation instructions.
Broadband Modem Only
This section applies only in the instance that the broadband connection is used exclusively
with the DVC-1000 Video phone and there are no PCs or other devices connected to the
broadband modem.)
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-1000 Video Phone 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 Video Phone to be able to receive calls.
