The unit can be connected to your ISP in one of the following ways:
Dynamic IP Address – Selects configuration for an Internet connection using
DHCP for IP address assignment. This is the default setting.
Static IP Address – Selects configuration for an Internet connection using a fixed IP
assignment.
L2TP – Selects configuration for an Internet connection using the Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol, an access protocol often used for virtual private networks.
PPPoE – Selects configuration for an Internet connection using the Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), a common connection method used for DSL
access.
Note: For the Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) option, the unit requires no further
configuration. Selecting other WAN types displays the parameters that are
required for configuring the connection.
