Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most
common.
Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the BLW-
54PM upon connection.
Also called Static IP Address. Select this if your ISP has allocated
you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data
must be entered.
•
IP Address
The IP Address allocated by the ISP.
•
Network Mask (Not required for PPPoE)
This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the
IP Address above.
•
Gateway IP Address (Not required for PPPoE)
The address of the router or gateway, as supplied by your ISP.
The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be obtained automati-
cally from your ISP's server.
Note that if using a fixed IP address, with no login (login is set to
None), then no Server is used, so this option cannot be used.
If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address of the DNS
(Domain Name Server) you wish to use.
Note: If the DNS is unavailable, the Backup DNS, entered on the
Options screen, will be used
If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for
Internet access, leave this at the default value None (Direct connec-
tion). Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the
login method used, and enter the required data.
•
PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used
with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some
software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-
quired, and should not be used.
•
PPPoE (Unnumbered IP) - this can only be used if your ISP
supports this system, and has allocated you multiple IP ad-
dresses. If selected, you must also select Specified IP Address
above and enter one of the IP addresses allocated to you by your
ISP.
•
PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
•
L2TP - this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP
Server address as well as your name and password.
•
Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.
•
SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.
