if you have ADSL Connection you need one ADSL Modem which you will convert to bridge mode and then you will need to insert LAN CABLE from ADSL Modem to External Interface of Untangle Server. 
for ADSL Connection you need to use Modem in this way
Internet RJ11 ADSL >>> ADSL Modem in Bridge Mode >>>>> RJ45 into External of Untangle Server
in ADSL Modem you will need to do basic settings of connections and Connection type will be bridge instead of PPOE, so you will not enter user id and password of internet in ADSL Modem it will be entered later in Untangle Server.
For more details you can contact your Local ISP for settings, you may have RJ45 connector so you can directly insert into Untangle without use of Modem, for those in UAE having fiber optic covered building.
