Configuring WAN Setup Options

Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 v3

The WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the wireless router to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below.

Figure 6-3: WAN Setup menu.

•Connect Automatically, as Required

Normally, this option should be enabled. An Internet connection will be made automatically after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. This provides connection on demand and is potentially cost-saving.

If disabled, you must connect manually, using the Connection Status button on the Router Status screen. This manual connection will stay up all the time without timeouts.

•Disable SPI Firewall

Normally, this option should be Enabled, so that your local network will be protected by the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall included in the WGT624 v3. However, certain communications functions like VPN may require turning off the SPI feature.

Note: When SPI Firewall is disabled, you must use the Passive mode in the PC FTP client to connect to the FTP server.
