true:

You have a static IP address that you plan use with the
X5. (Only those whose Internet service provider
instructs them to use a static IP address and advanced
users with special configuration needs will require
static IP addressing.)
To continue configuring the modem manually, skip the rest of
the steps in this section and follow the instructions on page 19
(if you are NOT using a static IP address) or on page 22 (if you
have a static IP address).

Select AUTOMATICALLY if neither of the special

Wait while the X5 modem searches for the correct
VPI, VCI, and Encapsulation settings and connects
with your Internet service provider. This may take a
few minutes because the modem must try various
combinations until it finds the settings that match your
service provider’s.
