All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must
reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a
router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider
will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.
Information you will need from your ADSL service provider:
Username
This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service
provider’s network. It is commonly in the form
−
[email protected] Your ADSL service provider uses this to
identify your account.

Modulation Type
ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to
transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some
users may need to change the type of modulation used for
their service. The default DSL modulation (ADSL2+ Multi-
Mode) used for the Router automatically detects all types of
ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ modulation. However, if you are
instructed to specify the modulation type used for the
Router, you may choose among the numerous options

ADSL Configuration window (Advanced > ADSL)
