This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the MTA and configuring your PC's IP settings.
Before you begin the installation process, you will need to know the connection type used by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you have only one PC that will need to access the Internet, your broadband service provider uses DHCP, and you do not have a router, continue to the following section, Installation without an External Router.
These instructions explain how to set up the MTA with one PC. The diagram below displays an example of this configuration.
To verify that your PC can now access the Internet through the MTA and that your broadband connection is functioning properly, open a Web browser on the PC connected to the MTA, and attempt to connect to a Web site.
If you already have a router that allows you to share your broadband connection with multiple PCs, the recommended configuration connects the broadband modem directly with the MTA, which connects to the external router, which connects to the PC.
This configuration is recommended if you have a router and would like to set up the MTA while allowing multiple PCs to access your broadband connection.
If you already have a router connected to your broadband connection and you do not want to change your configuration, you can connect the MTA to the router.
