1.4.3 The Gateway Mode
Or put it more simply, Broadband Internet sharing in a wireless network!
Since Compex WPE54AG supports several types of broadband connections,
the first step in setting up Compex WPE54AG as a Broadband Internet
Gateway is to identify the type of broadband Internet access you are
subscribed to.
Static IP address
Use this type of connection if you have subscribed to a fixed IP address or to a
range of fixed IP addresses from your Internet Service Provider.
Dynamic IP address
When powered using this type of connection, Compex WPE54AG requests for
an IP address which will be automatically assigned to it by your Internet
Service Provider.
This type of connection applies for instance, to:
• Singapore Cable Vision subscribers
• @HOME Cable Service users
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Select this type of connection if you are using ADSL services in a country
utilising standard PPP over Ethernet for authentication.
For instance:
If you are in Germany which uses T-1 connection or
If you are using SingNet Broadband or Pacific Internet Broadband in
Singapore.
