Mode The ZyXEL Device is in routing mode by default. This allows multiple computers
to share an Internet account. Select the method of encapsulation (ENET
ENCAP or PPPoE) used by your ISP from the drop-down list box.
Otherwise, 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 IP filter, DHCP
server and NAT on the ZyXEL Device.
User Name (PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned.
If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service
name, then enter both components exactly as given.
Password (PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the user name
above.
Service Name (PPPoE encapsulation only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
IP Address A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is
not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the
Internet.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address;
otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in
the IP Address field below.
