Chapter 3 - Software Installation and Configuration

The Select Function dialog box displays.

Select the function of the WAN Ethernet port by choosing

IP Routing (NAT Enabled) or IP

Routing (NAT Disabled). If you are using NAT Enabled, you may also select Enable
PPPoE .

•

Select

IP Routing (NAT Enabled) to allow local LAN clients to share one external IP

address for accessing the Internet. This option is most often used when the RF500S is
connected to a DSL or cable modem, or when the IP segment of the server needs firewall
protection.

•

Select

IP Routing (NAT Disabled) to allow the RF500S to function as a router between IP

segments. This option is ideal for organizations needing to segment workgroups.

•

Select

Enable PPPoE to use the RF500S with a time-base, rather than fixed-cost DSL

modem connection. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. This option
is most often used when connecting via DSL to the Internet.

Note: Enable PPPoE is valid only when IP Routing (NAT Enabled) is selected.
