WAN Configuration
Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider, then click
on More Configuration to provide detailed configuration parameters for the selected
connection type.
Specify one of the first three options to configure a WAN connection through the RJ-45
port (i.e., a connection to an xDSL modem or Cable modem). Specify the Dial-up on
Demand option to configure a WAN connection through the serial port (i.e., a connection
to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem).
Dynamic IP Address – DHCP
The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address
is set to the WAN’s
physical interface on the RoamAbout R1. Use this address when
registering
for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. You can
determine the RoamAbout R1’s MAC address by clicking on Status in the Main page. You
can use the Clone MAC Address button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card
installed by your ISP (in your PC) and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC
address.
Static IP Address – Fixed IP
If your Internet Service Provider assigned a fixed address, enter the assigned address and
subnet mask for the RoamAbout R1, then enter the gateway address of your ISP.
PPP over Ethernet – PPPoE
Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your ISP. The Service Name is
normally optional, but may be required by some providers.
If WAN connections are configured for both the RJ-45 and serial port, the
serial port will be used as a backup Internet connection if the primary
RJ-45 WAN connection fails.
You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such
as a Web server or FTP server.
