Broadband Modem Only

This section applies only in the instance that the broadband connection is used exclusively
with the DVC-1000 VideoPhone and there are no PCs or other devices connected to the
broadband modem. Broadband cable modems allow this type of installation.
Recommended Procedure: Many ISPs act as DHCP servers and dynamically assign a
public IP address whenever the modem requests one. If your ISP has a DHCP server,
select the checkbox under the network settings that says, "Automatically obtain IP
address." By choosing this option, you are not required to know the IP address, gateway,
subnet mask, or DNS numbers. They will all be filled in automatically.
If DHCP is not an option, all of the networking values will have to be manually entered.
Simply enter the public IP address, subnet Mask, gateway, and DNS numbers given to
you by the ISP into the appropriate network settings fields.
Potential Issues: In order for the DVC-1000 VideoPhone to function properly over the
Internet, there must exist a public IP address for the world to see. If your ISP is acting as
a NAT and assigning private IP addresses, you will have to request a public IP address
in order for your VideoPhone to be able to receive calls.
