ZyAIR B-2000 Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-Port Switch

3.8IP Address Assignment

A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either a dynamic or static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP Address.

3.9Internet Access Configuration

Menu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplified setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in menu 11. Before you configure your ZyAIR for Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone company.

Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPP or PPPoE encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password.
