Broadband ADSL2+ Modem DM111PSPv2 IP Address. The LAN IP address of the broadband ADSL2+ modem. IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or broadband ADSL2+ modem. RIP Direction. RIP allows a modem to exchange routing information with other modems. The RIP Direction selection controls how the broadband ADSL2+ modem sends and receives RIP packets. The default setting is Both. • When set to Both or Out Only, the modem broadcasts its routing table periodically. • When set to Both or In Only, the modem incorporates the RIP information that it receives. • When set to None, the modem does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received. RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the modem sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1. • RIP-1. This version is universally supported. It is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. • RIP-2. This version carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. • RIP-2B. This version uses subnet broadcasting. • RIP-2M. This version uses multicasting. Access Modem Interface on Additional Port When NAT is disabled, the modem's management interface can be accessed at the modem's LAN address using the port number you enter. This feature is not available when NAT is enabled. Use Modem as DHCP Server By default, the modem functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem are satisfactory.

Broadband ADSL2+ Modem DM111PSPv2
IP Address
. The LAN IP address of the broadband ADSL2+ modem.
IP Subnet Mask
. The LAN subnet mask of the modem. Combined with the IP address,
the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
which have to be reached through a gateway or broadband ADSL2+ modem.
RIP Direction
. RIP allows a modem to exchange routing information with other modems.
The RIP Direction selection controls how the broadband ADSL2+ modem sends and
receives RIP packets. The default setting is Both.
When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the modem broadcasts its routing table periodically.
When set to
Both
or
In Only
, the modem incorporates the RIP information that it
receives.
When set to
None
, the modem does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP
packets received.
RIP Version
. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets
that the modem sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set
for RIP-1.
RIP-1
.
This version is universally supported. It is probably adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
RIP-2
. This version carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format.
RIP-2B
. This version uses subnet broadcasting.
RIP-2M
. This version uses multicasting.
Access Modem Interface on Additional Port
When NAT is disabled, the modem’s management interface can be accessed at the modem’s
LAN address using the port number you enter. This feature is not available when NAT is
enabled.
Use Modem as DHCP Server
By default, the modem functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the modem’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address
of the modem. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses
specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate
addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the
modem are satisfactory.
