3-3 General Settings

3-3-1 WAN

WAN (Wide Area Network) Settings are used to connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The WAN
settings are provided to you by your ISP and oftentimes referred to as "public settings". Please select the
appropriate option for your specific ISP.
IP Configuration (Setting WAN Port)
There are five methods of obtaining a WAN port IP address:
1. DHCP, which means a Dynamic IP (Cable Modem)
2. Static IP
3. PPPoE (dial-up ADSL)
4. PPTP
Methods for using DHCP and PPPoE for obtaining an IP address may vary. If you are not familiar with
creating a network connection, please contact your local ISP.
After selecting the suitable option, click Accept at the bottom of the screen to save the settings.
You need to save the changes and restart the VoIP Gateway to make the changes active. Saving the
settings: Click MAINTENANCE and select Save/Restart in System from the left menu. Tick Save Settings
and Restart, then click Accept. Wait for about 50 seconds before the VoIP Gateway obtaining an IP
address by the method you selected.
Note: When the system has obtained a new IP address, and you are using a WAN port to enter the Web
Configuration Screen, the new IP address has to be used before you can get connected to the VoIP
Gateway. The same principle applies to the next two settings.
