Chapter 6 Configuring Your Wide Area Network

This section explains how to configure Compex SGX3226 to distribute Broadband Internet Access to the Wide Area Network.

6.1Selecting the Right connection for your Broadband Internet Service

Choosing the right connection type on Compex SGX3226 is important to ensure that you are properly connected to your broadband Internet subscription. The following summarizes the type of connection suitable for your broadband Internet subscription.

Static IP

This type of connection should only be used if and only if you have subscribed to fix IP or a range of fix IP address from your service provider for your Cable Internet connection or Direct Ethernet point.

Dynamic IP

This type of connection should be used if you are configuring Compex SGX3226 for your Cable Internet service. Once powered on, Compex SGX3226 will request for an IP address, which will be assigned by your service provider. Certain Cable Internet Service Providers require DHCP Client ID to be passed in before an IP address is released. For such cases, you must configure the System Config with a System Name equivalent to the DHCP Client ID. The configuration of System Config may be found in “System Configuration” on Page 61.

PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)

This type of connection should be chosen for ADSL services that use standard PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) for authentication.
