Transfer Mode Select the transfer mode you want to use.
PTM (Packet Transfer Mode): The P-792H v2 uses EFM TC layer for
data transmission over the DSL port.

layer for data transmission over the DSL port.
Mode Select Routing (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP gives
you one IP address only and you want multiple computers to share an
Internet account. Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more
than one IP address and you want the connected computers to get
individual IP address from ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select
Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT on the P-792H
v2.

down list box. Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the

or RFC 1483.
