IFITL (known as “PCData”) is an extended 10Mb half-duplex Ethernet broadband service. IFITL is functionally similar to a standard Ethernet LAN connection and it does not require a modem like DSL. PCData requires a PPPoE client which will be configured on the router. This initial setup is all that is needed to configure and connect your Linksys based network for PCData. Any additional setup for features like WEP, DHCP IP ranges, port triggering, etc is out of the scope of this FAQ. The BellSouth Installation CD and Connection Manager are not required to use this configuration. Since BellSouth assigns static IPs via your username the configurations shown are applicable to both dynamic and single static IP customers. Important Note: Due to specific firmware issues, not all Linksys routers are compatible with IFITL. You should run the latest firmware available and check with Linksys if you have any questions. Please check the Linksys Download Website update instructions.
