Additional settings for Static IP Address connections:
Static IP Parameters Description
Connection Type This specifies the connection type and the encapsulation method used for your Static IP
Address connection. The options available are
Bridged IP LLC , Bridged IP VC-Mux , Routed
IP LLC
, Routed IP VC-Mux or IPoA .
IP Address This is the permanent global IP address for your account. This is the address that is visible
outside your private network. Get this from your ISP.
Subnet Mask This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get this from your ISP.
Gateway Address This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. It provides the connection to the
Router for IP routed traffic that is outside your ISP’s network. That is, this will be the
primary connection from the Router to most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your
ISP.
ARP Server Address
(IPoA connection only)
This is not required for all IPoA connections. Check with your ISP for an ARP server IP
address if this is necessary for your IPoA connection.
Primary DNS Address This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service (DNS) used to match the
named URL web address used by most browsers with the actual global IP address used for
a web server. Usually this will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP address from your
ISP.
Secondary DNS Address This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this IP address from your ISP.
MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize efficiency for
uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting (
1400 bytes) should be
suitable for most users. Some user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance
for wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is
highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect network
traffic for better or worse.
NAT Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down menu. Keep in
mind that disabling NAT allows on a single computer to be used for Internet access
through the Router. NAT is enabled and disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e.
Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.
Firewall Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features available in the
Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure settings in the Firewall
Configuration window or the Filters window in the Advanced directory.
