Configure the WAN Connection
You must specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP):
• Dynamic IP Address - IP address is obtained automatically.
• Static IP Address - Your ISP has assigned you a static (or fixed) IP address.
• PPP over Ethernet - Some ISPs require PPPoE to connect to their services.
• Dial-up on Demand - If you use an analog or digital modem to connect to the Internet.
To begin configuring your WAN connection:
1. From the main menu, click Simple Setup; then click WAN.
2. On the Simple Setup | WAN screen, click to select the correct connection type.
• To configure a WAN connection through the RJ-45 port to an xDSL modem or cable modem, specify
one of the first three options.
• If you want to provide Internet services, such as a Web or FTP server, you may need a fixed address.
Contact your ISP to obtain a static IP address.
• To configure a WAN connection through the serial port to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem, select the
Dial-up on Demand option.
Note:
If WAN connections are configured for both the RJ-45 and serial port, the serial port will be used as a
backup Internet connection should the primary RJ-45 WAN connection fails.
