Dynamic Ip Address - D-Link DSL-2542B User Manual

Section 3 – Configuration
A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to automatically
obtain its global IP address from a DHCP server on the ISP's network.
The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses
available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a
long lease time, so it will likely be the same address each time the Router
requests an IP address.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address WAN connection, follow these steps:
1. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu. This
defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method
used for your ADSL service. The available options are 1483
Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If you have not been
provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave
the default setting.
2. Some ISPs record the unique MAC Address of your computer's
Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. This can
prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being
allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the
MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter, click the Copy
Your PC's MAC Address button.
3. If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the
values assigned for your account.
4. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured
correctly, click the Apply Settings button. This will save the
settings and reboot the Router to let your changes take effect.
5. Upon restarting, the Router should automatically establish the
WAN connection. If it does not, click the Connect button at the
bottom of this window.
