3.9 IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed. The ISP assigns you a different
one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled no matter whether you have a
dynamic or static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway.

ENET ENCAP Gateway.
3.9.1 Using PPP Encapsulation
If you have a dynamic IP, then the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable (N/A). If
you have a static IP, then you only need to fill in the IP Address field and not the ENET ENCAP Gateway
field.

3.9.2 Using RFC 1483 Encapsulation
In this case the IP Address Assignment must be static with the same requirements for the IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as stated above (in 3.9.1).
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as stated above (in 3.9.1).
3.9.3 Using ENET ENCAP Encapsulation
In this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a dynamic IP, the Prestige acts as a
DHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable
(N/A) as they are assigned to the Prestige by the DHCP server.

3.10 Internet Access Configuration
Menu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplified
setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in menu 11. Before you configure your Prestige for
Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone company.

Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPP
encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password. You only need to know
the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway IP address if you are using ENET ENCAP encapsulation.
