Field Description
Use DHCP When set to Enable, the device will acquire
additional IP information from the ISP's DHCP server.
The PPP connection itself acquires the device's IP
address, mask, DNS address, and default gateway
address. With Use DHCP enabled, the device will
acquire IP addresses for various other server types
(WINS, SMTP, POP3, etc. -- these server types are
listed on the DHCP Server Configuration page).
User DNS When set to Enable, the DNS address learned
through the PPP connection will be distributed to
clients of the device's DHCP server. This option is
useful only when the ADSL/Ethernet Router is
configured to act as a DHCP Server for your LAN.
When set to Disable, LAN hosts will use the DNS
address(es) preconfigured in the DHCP pool (see
“Configuring DHCP Server” on page 53) and in the
DNS feature (see Chapter 0),
Oper. Status Indicates whether the link is currently up or down or
if a specific type of data exchange is under way (e.g.,
