3 Initial Configuration
This chapter describes how to access the built-in Configuration tool and run the Configuration Wizard in order to perform the initial configuration.
3.1 Introduction
The HM410dp is an advanced ADSL router with several features and supported modes that make it ideal for advanced home networking. The HM410dp offers a Configuration Wizard that enables you to easily configure the HM410dp through a user friendly GUI. No special software is required on your PC to manage and operate the HM410dp. All you need is a web browser.
Initial Configuration
In the Configuration Wizard you can select an Internet Access type that fits your needs. There are currently three pre-defined access types as shown in the table below where they are briefly described.
Table 3 Description of Internet Access Types
Connection Type Select Internet Access Type
Connect using DHCP or fixed IP address (without a Username and Password).
Some operators provide Username and Password also for this type of connection, but the login procedure is in this case done from a web page or similar.
Connect using PPPoE (sometimes called dial-up). This type of connection requires a Username and a Password.
The HM410dp still offers the possibility for advanced users to set up special network scenarios themselves or to modify the existing ones. Refer to chapter 4 – “Advanced Configuration” for further information.

Initial Configuration
3.2.1 DHCP Routed (MER)
The DHCP Routed (MER) access type means that the HM410dp operates as a bridge to the WAN while simultaneously operating as a router to the LAN. This access type is “Always on” meaning that you is automatically connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection. The HM410dp automatically activates the NAT service and its internal DHCP server. PCs on the LAN will be assigned private IP addresses from the built-in DHCP server and the NAT service will route the traffic to/from the WAN.
To configure the HM410dp for DHCP Routed (MER) access type, follow the steps below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select DHCP routed (MER) and click the Next> button. The Confirm
page for Internet access appears:
3 Click the Confirm Changes button to save your Internet access
setting.
3.2.2 PPPoE Routed
The PPPoE (or dial-up) access type is used by the ISP to identify users and allow them access to the Internet. You have to enter a valid Username and
12 1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen A – October 2004
Initial Configuration
Password provided by your ISP. Once you have entered your Username and Password within this Wizard, the HM410dp will automatically connect to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection. The HM410dp automatically activates the NAT service and its internal DHCP server. PCs on the LAN will be assigned private IP addresses from the built-in DHCP server and the NAT service will route the traffic to/from the WAN.
Note: If you already have PPPoE client software installed on your
computer(s), you must uninstall it. This can be done after completing this wizard.
To configure the HM410dp for PPPoE Routed access type, follow the steps below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select PPPoE routed and click the Next> button. The following page
appears:
3 Enter your ”Username” and ”Password” provided by your ISP and click
the Next> button. The Confirm page for Internet access appears:

Initial Configuration
4 Click the Confirm Changes button to save your Internet access
setting.
3.2.3 Bridged
By using this access type the HM410dp will act as a bridge, meaning that the routing functionality (Firewall, NAT, UPnP, etc) will be disabled. This access type is suitable if you only want to connect a single computer to the Internet and want to perform all special functionality in the computer instead of the built-in capabilities of the HM410dp. This access type is “Always on” meaning that you is automatically connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection.
Note: If your ISP uses PPPoE you must have a PPPoE client software
installed on your PC.
To configure the HM410dp for Bridged access type, follow the steps below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select Bridged and click the Next> button. The Confirm page for
Internet access appears:
14 1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen A – October 2004
3 Click the Confirm Changes button to save your Internet access
setting.
3.3 Access the Internet
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may have provided you additional instructions (in the package or separately) about account setup, additional software installation, and/or Internet usage. In that case, please follow those instructions to complete your Internet connection setup.
