LAN Status

Used to enable/disable the flow of packets through LAN interface:

Open – the flow of packets is enabled.

Closed – the flow of packets is disabled. As a result, IR-IP does not accept, nor sends packets to the LAN, but its WAN interface may still be active, and can interact with other IP hosts on the WAN.

WAN Status

Used to enable/disable the flow of packets through the WAN interface:

Open – the flow of packets is enabled.

Closed – the flow of packets through the WAN interface is disabled. As a result, IR-IP does not accept from, nor sends packets to the WAN. However, the LAN interface of the IP router is still active.

WAN Throttle

This parameter specifies the maximum data rate at which frames are sent to the WAN (i.e., to the ASM-60 VDSL link).
