Reference Manual for the Model DM602 ADSL Modem
Advanced Configuration of the Modem 5-11
In Modem Device Mode, the modem operates like a DSL modem, passing all the Internet
communications directly to your computer where you must then configure your settings and logon
settings as needed.
In Router Device Mode, the modem provides limited router functionality which allows you to
have the modem perform any logon steps your ISP may require. In this mode, it is also easier to
configure your computer by taking advantage of the automatic configuration capabilities of DHCP
which the router provides.
The Device Mode menu, shown in Figure 5-10, allows the configuration of modem in router mode
or modem mode.

of 255.255.255.0, and a Gateway Address of 192.168.0.1 to be able to connect to the
