The modem will automatically authenticate with the PPPoE or PPPoA network when you have

data to transmit. You can manually connect to the network by clicking on the Connect button.

This screen gives you more detailed information about your PPPoE or PPPoA link. When the

connection is up and working, the amount of time that has elapsed since it came up is indicated in

the Connection Time field. The DM602 modem goes through the following steps to bring up a

PPPoE or PPPoA connection.

1. The WAN LED indicates whether the ADSL physical layer can connect to the telephone

company’s ADSL equipment, called a DSL Access Multiplexor (DSLAM). The WAN LED

will be solid green when this connection is made.

2. “Connecting to server”, “PPP LCP negotiation” and “Authentication” indicate whether the

modem is able to reach the PPPoE or PPPoA server and authenticate the User Name and

Password. If one of these steps fail it may indicate that the values entered in the Setup Wizard

or Basic Settings screens are not correct.

3. “Getting IP addresses“ indicates whether the modem has successfully received a DHCP

assignment from the DHCP server. This step is not necessary if a static IP address has been

assigned.
