Selecting the Connection Type

Selecting the Type of LAN Connection

Dynamic IP Address (using DHCP) is both the default option, and the most
commonly used method to assign devices on a LAN IP address information
when connecting to a broadband modem or multi-port Ethernet router or DHCP
server.
Most DPH-300 users should select the Dynamic IP Address option.
The window above allows you to select between the three most common ways
to connect to your ISP's WAN (Internet).
Select Dynamic IP Address if your DPH-300 will be connected directly to a
broadband modem or a router/DHCP server. This is the most common way of
connecting devices such as the DPH-300 to the Internet.
Select Static IP Address when connecting to a broadband connection that
offers static IP addressing or when behind a router that does not have a DHCP
server enabled. This choice requires the input of specific IP address
information.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is used when connecting directly
to a DSL modem that offers a PPPoE connection. This choice requires you to
input the User Name and Password of your PPPoE account − provided by your
ISP.
