3.6 Information From Your ISP
3.6.1 Protocols
Before configuring this device, you have to check with your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) to find out what kind of service is provided such as DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE,
or PPTP. The following table outlines each of these protocols:
DHCP
Configure this WAN interface to use DHCP client
protocol to get an IP address from your ISP
automatically. Your ISP provides an IP address to the
router dynamically when logging in.
Static IP
Configure this WAN interface with a specific IP
address. This IP address should be provided by your
ISP.
PPPoE
PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is known as a dial-up DSL
or cable service. It is designed to integrate the
broadband services into the current widely deployed,
easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking
infrastructure.
PPTP
If your ISP provides a PPTP connection, you can use
the PPTP protocol to establish a connection to your
ISP.

firewall are configured, BiGuard 50G will login automatically, and you will no longer
need to run the login program from your PC.
