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.

Figure 5-10. Device Mode menu.

To change the mode of the modem, follow these steps:

1. Select the Device Type from the list.

2. Click Apply.The modem will reconfigure itself accordingly.

Note: If you change the modem from Router Mode to Modem Mode, your computer

must configured with a static IP address of 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254, a Subnet Mask

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

modem’s built-in configuration pages.
