DSL is a Digital Subscriber Line technology that transforms ordinary telephone lines into highspeed digital lines for fast Internet access.
User Manual BritePort 8012-V1 5 Can I connect more than one computer to my BritePort 8012-V1? Yes. The BritePort 8012-V1 has a USB port and an Ethernet RJ45 port — connect one computer to the Ethernet RJ45 port and other computer to the USB port. Thus two computers can share the same DSL line and have different IP addresses. However, for the assignment of IP addresses and configuration, you should talk to your service provider.
User Manual BritePort 8012-V1 12 How can I check whether I have either Static or DHCP IP addressing? For a static IP address, the service provider provides you IP address and Subnet Mask. Thus if your service provider gives you an IP address, then you have a static IP address. On your desktop, right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon, then click Properties, then select TCP/IP>Broadxent BritePort Bridge 8012-V1 to highlight it and click the Properties tab.
