General Application Notes

1. Internet Access Using P-660HN-T1A under Bridge mode


Setup your workstation

Setup your P-660HN-T1A 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-660HN-T1A 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-660HN-T1A's LAN port, the computer must
have an Ethernet adapter card installed. For connecting a single computer to
the P-660HN-T1A, we use a 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.
