Internet Access 
This device supports Internet access 
through an ADSL connection. Since 
many ADSL providers use PPPoE or 
PPPoA to establish communications 
with end users, the modem includes 
built-in clients for these protocols, 
eliminating the need to install these 
services on your computer.

Light LED’s on the front of the 
modem indicate which functions are 
in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance 
whether your modem is connected to 
the Internet. This feature eliminates the 
need for advanced software and status-
monitoring procedures.

Interface

functions easily through your web 
browser, without having to install 
additional software onto the computer. 
There are no disks to install or keep 
track of and, best of all, you can make 
changes and perform setup functions 
from any computer on the network 
quickly and easily. 
Built-in Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes 
for the easiest possible connection 
of a network. The DHCP server will 
assign IP addresses to each computer 
automatically so there is no need for a 
complicated networking setup. 
DMZ Host Support 
DMZ Host Support allows a networked 
computer to be fully exposed to the 
Internet. This function is used when NAT 
and firewall security prevent an Internet 
application from functioning correctly. 
NAT IP Address Sharing 
Your modem employs Network 
Address Translation (NAT) to share the 
single IP address assigned to you by 
your Internet Service Provider while 
saving the cost of adding additional 
IP addresses to your Internet service 
account.
