Actiontec DSL Modem User Manual
WAN IP Address allows manual set up of the IP address of the Modem. To do this:
☞
Note: Some DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communica-
tion with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet con-
nections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either DHCP or
static IP address. If unsure which connection is present, check
with Verizon before continuing.
1. Select the type of connection the ISP uses. If PPP Auto Connect is being used,
click in the appropriate check box.
2. If using PPPoA or PPPoE was selected in step 1, enter the user name and
password in the appropriate text boxes. If the ISP requires no user name or
password, click in the “My ISP does not require a username and password”
check box.
3. Select the IP type. If “Single Static IP Address” was selected, enter the IP
address in the “Single Static IP” text box. If “Block of Static IP Addresses” was
selected, enter the designated gateway IP address and subnet mask address in
the “Modem Address” and “Subnet Mask” text boxes, respectively. Also, “VIP
Mode” can be activated by clicking in the appropriate check box.
4. Select the DNS type. If static DNS address was selected, enter the primary
DNS address and, optionally, the secondary DNS address in the appropriate
text boxes.
When finished in this screen, click Apply to activate any changes made.
