address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and primary and (optional)
secondary DNS addresses. This information will be provided by your ISP.

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)

− this protocol requires the

use of a Username and Password to gain access to the network. In addition,
you can specify a Connect on Demand connection that will connect to the
Internet only when a computer or device on your LAN makes a request, or
when the DFL-600 is rebooted.

If you do not know the appropriate method of obtaining the WAN side
network address information, contact your ISP or network administrator.

The Device IP Settings dialog box allows you to specify the IP address that
computers on your LAN will use to access the DFL-600’s web-based
configuration utility. The default is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If it becomes necessary to change this IP address, be sure to
use an address that is in the same range (on the same subnet) as the three
LAN ports, or you will not be able to access the DFL-600 from your LAN.

The many other features of the DFL-600 are described in subsequent sections.
