Step 4 WAN Interface Setup page
WAN (Wide Area Network) is your Internet connection. Your choices to define this connection are:
DHCP Client – Your service provider assigns a dynamic (temporary) IP address. This is the most common interface type.
Static IP – You have purchased a static (permanent) IP address.
PPPoE – This is a protocol that establishes a direct connection to your service provider (rather than routing an IP address). This is common with DSL.
Note: Make note of the connection type you select here because you use it again in Step 6.
Click the radio button that corresponds to your service account’s interface type:
zDHCP Client
No configuration is required.
zStatic IP
If you purchased a static IP address, you received from your service provider the standard Internet connection data (see page 12) for the fields under this heading.
zPPPoE
If your service provider uses PPPoE, you received from your service provider your account login information, which you enter here.
If the PPP account includes a static IP address, enter it into the Self IP field, and enter the subnet mask into the Mask field.
