Connecting to the Internet

ADSL Modem configuration

The Mitel 1000 is configured with all the settings that will suit your ADSL
This section describes how to configure the way that your Mitel 1000 connects
to the Internet. Your ISP determines what type of Internet access you should
use and provides you with any information that you need in order to configure
the Internet access to your Mitel 1000.
Your Mitel 1000 needs the following address information in order to access
the Internet:
IP address and The IP address and subnet mask
subnet mask: assigned to your WAN interface.
Default gateway: The gateway address that identifies the
ISP server through which your Internet
connection will be routed.
DNS servers: The Dynamic Name System (DNS)
servers used by your ISP to dynamically
assign addresses to each of the
computers attached to your LAN.

addresses because your ISP is likely to use an Internet access type, which
automatically assigns addresses to your Mitel 1000.

Types of Internet Access

The other types of Internet access available are as follows:
PPP Internet access – your Mitel 1000 uses a Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use PPP Internet
access, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to
log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISP's Internet service are
automatically configured. Your Mitel 1000 supports two types of PPP –
PPPoE (over Ethernet) and PPPoA (over ATM).
DHCP Internet Access – your ISP uses a protocol called Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign addresses and manage your Mitel
1000. The Mitel 1000 is automatically assigned the IP addresses that it needs
to access the Internet.
Manual Internet Access – you manually assign the addresses that your Mitel
1000 needs in order to access the Internet. Your ISP should provide you with
the necessary addresses.
