Bridge Settings
Encapsulation:
Select the method of encapsulation
used by your ISP from the drop-down
list box. Choices vary depending on the
mode you select in the Mode field.
Select LAN:
Select the LAN group to which you want
to bridge this connection to. Having a
Bridged Connection places the modem
into a ‘dumb’ mode. The modem con-
nects to the ISP, but does not perform
authentication, routing or firewalling
functions. You will need to have an addi-
tional router plugged into a LAN port of
your modem to perform these functions.
