Configuring the Internet Connection (WAN)
To set up your VPN firewall for secure Internet connections, you configure the WAN port. The
Web Configuration Manager offers two connection configuration options:
• Automatic detection and configuration of the network connection.
• Manual configuration of the network connection.
Each option is detailed in the following sections.
Automatically Detecting and Connecting
To automatically configure the WAN port for connection to the Internet:
1. Select Network Configuration > WAN Settings from the menu/submenu.
The WAN tabs appear on screen with the WAN ISP Settings screen in view (see Figure 2-3 on
page 2-5).

primary > subcategory, such as Network Configuration > WAN Settings. In
this example, Network Configuration is the selected primary category (in the
main menu) and WAN Settings is the selected subcategory (in the submenu).
