Auto Detect will probe the WAN port for a range of connection methods and suggest one that
your ISP appears to support.

b. If Auto Detect senses a connection method that requires input from you, it will prompt you
for the information. All methods with the required settings are detailed in the following

connection between your VPN firewall and the cable or DSL line, or to (2) check your
VPN firewall’s MAC address (For more information, see “Troubleshooting the ISP
Connection” on page 11-4).
