This screen allows you to configure, view, or edit the VideoPhone’s public IP
Address.
This is the default and recommended setting. If the DVC-1000 is

VideoPhone will automatically use your public IP Address for
placing and receiving calls. On the majority of Cable and DSL
broadband systems leaving this checked will result in simplified
installation and use.

If you are sharing a broadband connection with another device (such as a PC), you
typically will need a router to accomplish the sharing of the connection. Your router will
usually have a Network Address Translation (NAT) mode installed. The NAT affects the
IP address of the DVC-1000 and any other devices sharing your Internet Connection.
See the glossary on page 44 for a description of a NAT.
