ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual

When Auto Detect successfully detects an active Internet service, it reports which connection type it discovered. The options are described in Table 2-1.

Note: When you click Auto Detect while the WAN port already has a connection,

you might lose the connection because the VPN firewall will enter its detection mode.

Table 2-1. Internet connection methods

Connection	Data Required
Method
PPPoE	Login (Username, Password); Account Name, Domain Name
PPTP	Login (Username, Password), Account Name, Local IP address, and PPTP
	Server IP address;
DHCP (Dynamic IP)	No data is required.
Fixed (Static) IP	Static IP address, Subnet, and Gateway IP; and related data supplied by your
	ISP.

If Auto Detect does not find a connection, you will be prompted to check the physical connection between your VPN firewall and the cable or DSL line or to check your VPN firewall’s MAC address (see “Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection” on page 2-6).

3.Click the Broadband Status option arrow at the top right of the screen to verify the WAN port connection status. Click Connect if there is no connection.
