Return accepts * ESC cancels * Left/Right moves insertion point * Del deletes. Enter basic information about your WAN connection with this screen.

1.To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes (the default). For more information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 10, “IP Setup,” on page 10-1.

The IP Addressing menu item allows you to choose between Unnumbered and Numbered addressing. Numbered is the default for SDSL. It assigns a unique IP address to the SDSL WAN interface, as required by most ISPs’ routers. Unnumbered may be used for simpler configurations such as point-to-point short haul applications.

2.Select the editable field labeled Local WAN IP Address.

The default address is 0.0.0.0, which allows for dynamic addressing, when your ISP assigns an address each time you connect. However, you can enter another specific address if you want to use static addressing. In that case, enter the local WAN address your ISP gave you. Press Return.

3.If you selected PPP data link encapsulation in the SDSL Line Configuration screen, a PPP Authentication menu item appears. The authentication protocol and user name/password combinations you enter must be assigned or agreed to in advance between you and your ISP. Select PPP Authentication and press Return.

From the pop-up menu that appears, select the authentication method your ISP uses: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), or None.

PAP is the most common, and requires you to enter a User Name and Password in the next two fields.

CHAP requires you to enter a Host Name and Secret in the next two fields.

4.Press the Down arrow key until you reach NEXT SCREEN. Press Return to bring up the next screen.
