1. Internet Access Using P-660R-F1 under Bridge mode
Setup your workstation
Setup your P-660R-F1 under bridge mode
If the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet, that means only the
traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be filtered. In
this case, we use P-660R-F1 which works as an ADSL bridge modem to connect
to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit only one
computer to access the Internet. See the figure below for this setup:
Set up your workstation
(1) Ethernet connection
To connect your computer to the P-660R-F1's LAN port, the computer must have
an Ethernet adapter card installed. For connecting a single computer to the
P-660R-F1, we use an Ethernet cable.
(2) TCP/IP configuration
In most cases, the IP address of the computer is assigned by the ISP
dynamically so you have to configure the computer as a DHCP client which
obtains the IP from the ISP using DHCP protocol. The ISP may also provide the
gateway, DNS via DHCP if they are available. Otherwise, please enter the static
IP addresses for all that the ISP gives to you in the network TCP/IP settings. For
Windows, we check the option 'Obtain an IP address automatically' in its
TCP/IP setup, please see the example shown below.
