WAN IP Address
Selecting WAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gen-
erates the “ WAN IP Address” screen. WAN IP Address allows manual set up of the
IP address of the Gateway. There are five ways to do this: Transparent Bridging,
Obtain an
IP Address through PPP o E , Obtain an IP Address Through PPPoA ,
Obtain an IP Address through DHCP , and Specify a Static IP Address.
☞
Note: Some DSL providers use PPP o E/PPPoA to establish com-
munication with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet
connections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either
DHCP or static IP address. If unsure about which connection is
present, check with the Internet Service Provider ( ISP) before
continuing.
