■

If you choose Hunt, the router will cycle through the speeds available and attempt to connect at the
highest available speed. This hunt will take a few minutes. When a negotiated speed is determined,
the router will remember that speed and use it as the star ting point for the next time a connection is
attempted.

■

If you choose Locked, the Data Rate you select in the next menu will always be used.

■

The Data Rate pull-down menu allows you to select the data rate for your connection. This is usually
assigned by your Ser vice provider.

Bridged 1483 displays a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) toggle item that can be toggled either On or Off.
