these interfaces using Configuration Manager. Contact your ISP

The LAN Configuration table displays the following settings:

Description
System Mode
Identifies the system operating mode for your device,
such as Routing mode, Bridging mode, or both modes
simultaneously. See Chapter 6 for information on the
system operating modes.
Get LAN
Address
Provides options for how the device’s LAN interface is
assigned an IP address:
o Manual indicates that you will be assigning a
static IP address, which you can enter in the
fields below.
o External DHCP Server indicates that your ISP will
be assigning an IP address from their own DHCP
server, dynamically each time you log on.
o Internal DHCP Server indicates that you have a
DHCP server device on your network that will
assign an address to the port.
If you choose either the internal or external server
option, the LAN interface is called a DHCP client of
the server.
Note that the public IP address assigned to you by
your ISP is not your LAN IP address. The public IP
address identifies the WAN (ADSL) port on your
ADSL/Ethernet router to the Internet. (Or, in bridge
configurations, it may be assigned to your PC.)
