DESCRIPTION
Choose the ENET ENCAP (Ethernet encapsulation) option when the WAN port is
used as a regular Ethernet.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Static IP Address.
Enter the Subnet Mask in this field.
Enter a Gateway IP Address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the NBG5715's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays
the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but
leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you
click Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP
address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to
access it.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG5715.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
