[. . . ] 4. Read and understand all instructions. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. [. . . ] The TCP/IP family is used as a configuration example (procedures may equally apply to other protocol families). Every IP host must have a unique IP address, whether connected to a corporate network or the Internet. The ADSL modem is transparent to IP protocols; it allows PCs to operate with both fixed and/or dynamic IP addresses. Fixed IP Address Fixed IP addresses are primarily used by corporate network users; LAN administrators provide them. When the PC is started, a connection is established with the remote site through the automatic exchange of specific TCP/IP messages and bridging operations. Dynamic IP Address If the ISP or corporate network supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), a temporary IP address is automatically obtained for the session. You must configure the PC to use BOOTP/DHCP. Each time the PC starts up, it automatically broadcasts an IP address request. The following instructions to enable DHCP assume a Windows 95 operating system: 1. Select yes when prompted to restart the PC. After the PC is restarted, it acquires its own IP address from the server using BOOTP/DHCP. Briidged Ser viice wiith Fiillteriing Br dged Ser v ce w th F ter ng The 3EC 18202 DB version of the modem provides an IEEE 802. 1D Transparent Databridge with administrative filtering capability on the bridge ports to reduce security risk and bandwidth requirements on the ADSL interface. Filtering Function The filtering applied to the bridge ports performs the following functions: · · · Blocks all multicast frames Forwards IP and ARP broadcast frames Forwards IP unicast frames Multicast Traffic on Bridge Ports The modem blocks all multicast traffic in both upstream and downstream directions. All multicast frames arriving on the Ethernet port are silently discarded. Also, all multicast frames arriving on the remote virtual port(s) are silently discarded. Broadcast Traffic on Bridge Por ts The modem forwards only IP and ARP broadcast frames in both upstream and downstream directions. IP and ARP broadcast frames arriving on the Ethernet port are forwarded to the remote virtual port(s). All other broadcast frames arriving on the Ethernet port are silently discarded. IP and ARP broadcast frames arriving on the remote virtual port(s) are forwarded to the Ethernet port. All other broadcast frames arriving on the remote virtual port(s) are silently discarded. Unicast Traffic on Bridge Por ts The modem forwards only IP unicast frames in both upstream and downstream directions. IP unicast frames arriving on the Ethernet port are forwarded to the remote virtual port(s). All other unicast frames arriving on the Ethernet port are silently discarded. IP unicast frames arriving on the remote virtual port(s) are forwarded to the Ethernet port. All other unicast frames arriving on the remote virtual port(s) are silently discarded. POINT TO POINT TUNNELING CONNECTIONS POINT TO POINT TUNNELING CONNECTIONS Introductiion Introduct on If local workstations require connections to the outside world via the modem's Ethernet interface and your ISP or corporate network administrator requires that you use a dial-up connection, you must use Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). [. . . ] The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line, individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord) The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
