Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related
information to all LAN users.
Modem
Only the ADSL Modem component is operational.
• All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does
not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic
passing through it.
• All traffic received on LAN interface will be sent over the ADSL
connection.
Notes:
• Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is
what you want.

PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Broadband
ADSL Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Broadband ADSL Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is
essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Broadband ADSL Router settings, and the default
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the Broadband ADSL Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically provid-
ing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Broadband ADSL Router
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-
vanced Setup for details.
