General Application Notes

1. Internet Access Using P-791R v2 under Bridge mode

• Setup your workstation

• Setup your P-791R v2 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-791R v2 which works as a DSL bridge modem

to connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit

only one computer to access the Internet.

Set up your workstation

(1) Ethernet connection

To connect your computer to the P-791R v2's LAN port, the computer must

have an Ethernet adapter card installed. For connecting a single computer to

the P-791R v2, we use an Ethernet cable.

(2) TCP/IP configuration

In most cases, the IP address of computer is assigned by 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.
