Configuring a WAN Connection

This section describes how to configure your WAN Internet (WAN Ethernet or WAN DSL)
connection.
The WAN connection is configured in the 'Network Connections' screen, which provides a
connection wizard that guides you through the network configuration stages.

•
To quickly configure a basic WAN connection, use the 'Quick Setup'
screen, as described in Section
•
Before configuring the device Internet connection, ensure that you have
obtained relevant technical information on the Internet connection type
from your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). For example,
whether you are connected to the Internet using a static or dynamic IP
address, or what protocols such as PPTP or PPPoE are used to
communicate over the Internet.
•
The device automatically detects the physical WAN type (i.e., Ethernet or
xDSL). To change the WAN type, you must restore the device to factory
settings (see Section 19.9).
•
When connected to xDSL, the LAN4/WAN Ethernet port can be used for
Ethernet LAN interface.
•
When connected to an external modem through the Ethernet LAN4/WAN
port and the device obtains an IP address, the xDSL interface is disabled.
•
If the Automatic Dialer feature is shipped preconfigured (i.e., enabled),
then the device automatically detects the Internet dialer type and
therefore, Internet connection configuration is unnecessary. However, it is
recommended to manually configure the Internet connection after the
Automatic Dialer process has completed (successfully or not). For more
information on the Automatic Dialer feature, see Section
