VPI and VCI:
Enter the information provided by your ISP.
NAT:
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the
Internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN
have public IP addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be
disabled.
Encapsulation method:
Select the encapsulation format, the default is LLC Bridged.
Select the one provided by your ISP.
DHCP client:
Enable or disable the DHCP client, specify if the router can get an IP
address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically or not.

to enable the DHCP client
function or click Specify an IP address to disable the DHCP client function, and specify the IP
address manually. The setting of this item is specified by your ISP.

4.3.2.2 DNS
A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP
addresses. On the Internet, every host has a unique and user-friendly name (domain name)
such as www.billion.com and an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
, for example
192.168.1.254. You can think of an IP address as a telephone
number for devices on the Internet, and the DNS allows you to find the telephone number for
any particular domain name. Since an IP Address is hard to remember, the DNS converts
the friendly name into its equivalent IP Address.
You can obtain a Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if your ISP has
provided it when you logon. Usually when you choose PPPoE or PPPoA as your WAN - ISP
protocol, the ISP provides the DNS IP address automatically. You may leave the
configuration field blank. Alternatively, your ISP may provide you with an IP address of their
DNS. If this is the case, you must enter the DNS IP address.
If you choose one of the other protocols, RFC1483 Routed or Bridged, check with your ISP,
as it may provide you with an IP address for their DNS server. You must enter the DNS IP
address if you set the DNS Server address on your PC to the LAN IP address of this router.
