Chapter 6 Advanced Setup
Encapsulation (PPPoA only)
Select one of the encapsulation options, based on information received from the
ISP.
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option if the IP service is configured to use RFC 1483 Bridged or Routed
(used for configurations without a Static IP assigned by an ISP). In this mode, the
Gateway will query the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to receive the IP address
and routing information, which will terminate at the Gateway, as opposed to the IP
address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This
allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (LAN).
Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain
Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and
enter them in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not
require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.

Note: Contact the ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
