Not sure what they mean here. The DSL modem is supplied by DSL Extreme,
and there isn't anything to configure, just plug it in. The router part
is something like my Linksys WRT-54G. It does a normal DHCP on the DSL
modem side and just does its thing. I'm guessing that the phrase
"dynamic connections" refers to DHCP.
Do I read between the lines here that the DSL Extreme modem has a
single output port?
There is only a single ethernet port on the DSL Extreme modem,
connection by RJ-45 jack to an unshielded twisted pair cable. The phone
connection is via RJ-11 jack to a supplied CAT-3 cable.
The exact make and model:
BroadMax Technology Limited
LinkMAX HSA300A-309
FCC ID: BMXDL06B123750903
Searching the fine print on the AT&T web site I see that the $50 DSL
modem that comes as part of their standard deal has a single output
port. For $20 extra you could get one with a 4-port switch built in.
DSL Extreme supplies the modem at no additional charge, plus two of the
filters for your regular phones. I got a 8-port gigabit switch on sale
at Fry's for $25 a while back.
