If you are using the DSL modem but the connecting Internet service provider does not support PPPoE, select the Cable Modem mode. If your DSL modem is a router type modem, select the LAN mode. Consult your Internet service provider about PPPoE support and DSL modem. Note If you are using the Access Point and are connecting within an existing LAN that already has a DHCP server, do not use the Phone or Local Only connection modes. Select Cable Modem or LAN connection modes instead. When the Wireless LAN Access Point is using Phone and/or Local Only connection modes, the Access Point acts as a DHCP server. An Access Point that is connected to a LAN that has another DHCP server may experience the following problem while using the Phone or Local Only connection mode: A client computer within the LAN may acquire an invalid IP address from the Access Point, not from the regular DHCP server. If this happens, the client computer may not be able to access the network because the IP address supplied by the Access Point is a private IP address (10. 0. 1. 2 - 17, by default). Contact your network administrator before connecting a Wireless LAN Access Point to an existing LAN. 26 Phone mode (PCWA-A100 only) The Setup of Phone Connection Parameters dialog box appears.
