9. DNS Some users will be required to enter an IP address used for DNS services. If you are given a DNS
server IP address enter that here along with a secondary or back-up DNS server IP address if you were
given one.
10. For PPP connections (PPPoE or PPPoA), you must supply a User Name and Password used to verify
the identity of your account.

select the Disable option.
12. When you have defined the Quick Configuration settings, click the Submit button to save the settings
in temporary memory. These settings and all other configuration changes made to the Router must be
Committed (to non-volatile memory) and the Router must be rebooted for the changes to go into effect.
The Router will negotiate the ADSL connection automatically upon rebooting. Continue to the Commit
& Reboot procedure.
Commit & Reboot
Commit and Reboot Menu
To save current configuration settings as they have been submitted click the Commit button. A message informs
you when the settings have been successfully committed to memory. You must now reboot the device to put the
settings into effect. Make sure Reboot is selected in the Reboot Mode: pull-down menu and click
.
IMPORTANT
Do not reboot the device using the Reset button on the back panel of the Router to
activate new changes. This button resets the device settings to the FACTORY
default values. Any custom settings will be lost.
After the Router has rebooted it will begin to negotiate the ADSL connection for your account. This will
normally take a few seconds. When the ADSL connection has been successfully established, the ADSL Link
LED indicator will light steady green. If the ADSL Link indicator does not light after a minute or so access the
web configuration manager an double check the settings.
Note
Some accounts use PPP connection software for their Internet service connection.
If you have been given a CD with PPP software, install this now as instructed by
your service provider. After the Router has rebooted it will negotiate the ADSL
connection. For PPP (PPPoE and PPPoA) connections software is installed on the
computer directly connected to the computer. This software is used to verify the
identity of your account and establish a secure Point-to-Point connection to the
service provider’s network infrastructure.
