DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Installation

If you have any questions regarding the settings you made or other
settings in the submenus, please refer to the next chapter Configuration
and Management.

At this point, please proceed to the next initial configuration step.

Step 3b - Configuring the WAN Ports for Dial-in, Dial-
out and Leased Lines

Please configure LAN port as described above to familiarize yourself
with the configuration program (the LAN port must be configured in
any case). Some settings that were made configuring the LAN will be
repeated below. Please disregard the instructions below if the setting
has already been changed.

Each WAN port can be configured to either receive dial-in calls (act as
a Remote Access Server), dial out to other routers (at branch offices or
the Internet, for instance), or both (but not at the same time). The WAN
ports can also be configured for a leased line (synchronous)
connection. Please note however that we recommend only one single
WAN connection to the Internet since a second connection will not
significantly enhance the performance of the connection.

Enabling a WAN Port

In this section, we will use WAN1 as an example. Other WAN ports
however, will follow the same procedures.

1. The WAN port must be enabled in the

Interface

Configuration

sub-menu.

♦

Choose

Interface Configuration, WAN 1.

♦

Configure the

Protocol

setting. This is a very important

setting which determines what type of device can be connected
to the WAN port.
