Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway

4-10 Basic Configuration of the Gateway

Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access

the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your gateway will automatically log you

in.

3. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically

transmit DNS addresses to the gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter

the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is

available, enter it also.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www

addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or

two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you

must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you

should reboot your PCs after configuring the gateway.

4. ISP Parameters for Internet Access: The Multipling Method and VPI/VCI discovered by the

Smart Wizard are displayed here. You should not need to change these.

5. Click on Apply, then proceed to “Completing the Configuration“ on page 4-12.

Manual Configuration

You can manually configure the gateway in the Basic Settings menu shown in Figure 4-2 using

these steps:

1. Select whether your Internet connection requires a login.

Select ‘Yes’ if you normally must launch a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET in

order to access the Internet.

• If your service provider does not require a login program enter your Account Name (may

also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These parameters may be necessary to

access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers.

Proceed to Step 2

• If your service provider uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), select Encapsulation as PPP

over Ethernet, and enter these additional parameters:

a. Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are

case sensitive.

b. If your connection supports multiple ISPs, enter the Service Name of the one you use.

Otherwise leave Service Name blank.
