ACCESSING YOUR MODEM
7.1
Logging on to Your Modem
This section explains the logon procedures for your modem. These procedures should be used any time you want to
access or make changes to your modem’s configurations or firewall settings.
IMPORTANT:
Your modem is capable of automatically sensing protocol type (DHCP or PPPoE). This process is
designed to start after you have connected your modem to your network. To access your modem’s Web pages, your
PC must be configured for DHCP. Refer to your Windows help screen for information on configuring your
computer for DHCP. At your PC, click
Start
, then
Help
to access the Windows help screen.
Your ISP determines the type of protocol you will use to connect to the Internet. Routed IP allows you to connect to
your ISP equipment without first having to identify yourself (authenticate) with your ISP. PPPoE requires that you
authenticate (type an account ID and password) before obtaining an Internet connection. After automatic protocol
detection starts, the modem will determine which protocol you will use for your Internet connection.
To log on to your modem, start your Web browser, and type the following IP address in the browser’s address bar:
After you have typed the URL address, press
Enter
on your keyboard. If your modem has the Automatic PVC
Detection feature enabled (optional), you will see this screen while the modem detects and configures the WAN
connection.
The detection process will then begin as shown in the following screen.
Once the detection process is complete, you will see the following screen.

7.1.1
Connecting to the Internet via Routed IP Protocol
If Automatic WAN Protocol Detection finds that your ISP’s server is DHCP, the ISP’s DHCP server will send your
modem a WAN IP address. A WAN IP address indicates that you have established a connection with your ISP.
Routed IP allows you to connect to your ISP equipment without first having to identify yourself (authenticate) with
your ISP. Once your modem has obtained a WAN IP address, you do not need to configure any additional settings
Congratulations! You have completed the modem’s Automatic WAN Protocol Detection process. Now, go to
section 7.4, “Confirming Your Internet Connection,” to confirm your Internet connection.
7.1.2
Connecting to the Internet via PPPoE Protocol

Internet connection. To connect to the Internet for the first time via PPP, go to one of the following sections:
•

connecting to the Internet using the modem’s built-in Installation Wizard. Use this method for simple, less-
detailed configuration process.
•
Section 7.3, “Configuring Your Internet Connection Manually,” for details on connecting to the Internet
using a manually set up connection. Use this method for a more detailed configuration process.
