4.4.1.4 DHCP Connection Setup
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the CPE to automatically obtain the IP address from
the server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically assigned and is not known
prior to assignment.
To configure the CPE for a DHCP connection, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The
default DHCP connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select DHCP and the DHCP connection
setup page is displayed; figure 7 illustrates a typical DHCP configuration. Give your DHCP connection a
unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name
is called DHCP1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
Select 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. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the default value if you
are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
If your DSL line is connected and your DSL/IPS provider is supporting DHCP, you can click the renew
button and the CPE will retrieve an IP address, Subnet mask, and CPE address. At anytime, you can renew
the DHCP address by clicking on the renew button; in most cases you will never have to use this button.

To complete the connection you must now click the apply button. The apply button will temporarily save
this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Tools (at the top of the page) and
select System Commands. At the system commands page, click on Save All.
4.4.1.5 Static Connection Setup
Static is used whenever a known static IP is assigned. The accompanying information such as the Subnet
mask and the CPE should also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can also be
specified. These servers would enable you to have access to other web servers. Valid IP addresses range is
from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
To configure the CPE for a Static connection, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The
