The WAN Status window should show a valid IP address and gateway. If the configuration was not successful, skip ahead to “Manually Configuring the Internet Connection” on this page , or see “Troubleshooting the ISP Connection” on page 12-5.

Note: If the configuration process was successful, you are connected to the Internet through WAN port 1. If you intend to use the dual WAN capabilities of the UTM25, continue with the configuration process for WAN port 2.

Note: For more information about the WAN Connection Status screen, see “Viewing the WAN Ports Status” on page 11-27.

4.Click the WAN2 ISP Settings tab (dual-WAN port models only).

5.Repeat the previous steps to automatically detect and configure the WAN2 Internet connection (dual-WAN port models only).

6.Open the WAN Status window and verify a successful connection

If your WAN ISP configuration was successful, you can skip ahead to “Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual-WAN Port Models Only)” on page 3-9.

If one or both automatic WAN ISP configurations failed, you can attempt a manual configuration as described in the following section, or see “Troubleshooting the ISP Connection” on page 12-5.

Setting the UTM’s MAC Address

Each computer or router on your network has a unique 48-bit local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer’s Media Access Control (MAC) address. The default is set to Use Default Address. If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has been previously registered with your ISP, then you must enter that address. Setting the UTM’s MAC address is controlled through the Advanced options on the single WAN-port model’s WAN ISP Settings screen or the dual WAN-port model’s WAN1 ISP Settings and WAN2 ISP Settings screen (see“Configuring Advanced WAN Options” on page 3-22).

Manually Configuring the Internet Connection

Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration via DHCP, you need to obtain configuration parameters from your ISP in order to manually establish an Internet connection. The necessary parameters for various connection types are listed in Table 3-1 on page 3-4.
