If the Kanguru iNAS 100 is connected to a remote PPTP server through the WAN port, you need to use the PPTP protocol.

3.Use DHCP Protocol

The DHCP protocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the intranet. The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via DHCP.

4.Use Static IP Address

The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or intranet, and an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the network. You will need to enter the following information:

IP Address

The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by dots. (e.g. 61.218.1.5)

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a 32-bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Default Gateway

The gateway is generally referred to as an interchange point that connects two networks. If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your ISP or network administrator.
