Half Bridge:
When the PPP Half Bridge is enabled the WAN IP address from the ISP is passed straight through the
modem to the local client PC. Only one PC is able to access the Internet using half bridge mode as NAT
is disabled. Half bridge mode can only be used when a single IP address has been assigned by the ISP,
it is not suitable for services that provide multiple IP addresses. Half bridge mode is used when the use
of NAT or NAPT is not desired and there is a single computer attached to the modem. When the half-
bridged modem is used in conjunction with a router handling DHCP, only then multiple computers can
connect to the Internet.
