Configuring Your Wide Area Network
This section explains how to configure Compex SGX3226 to distribute Broadband Internet Access to the
Wide Area Network.
If you have chosen self-installation when you register for the broadband service, you should first test the
ADSL modem together with the logon account with your PC. Make sure it can connect successfully
before attempting to run it with Compex SGX3226.
For simplicity and the purpose of illustrations, it is assumed that LAN environment uses the IP address
192.168.100.xxx and Compex SGX3226 is using the default settings.
However, if you have assigned a different IP address for Compex SGX3226, then use the new settings in
the setup procedures.

Selecting the Right connection for your Broadband Internet Service
Choosing the right connection type on Compex SGX3226 is important to ensure that you are
properly connected to your broadband Internet subscription. The following summarizes the type
of connection suitable for your broadband Internet subscription.
Static IP
This type of connection should only be used if and only if you have subscribed to fix IP or a
range of fix IP address from your service provider for your Cable Internet connection or Direct
Ethernet point.
Dynamic IP
This type of connection should be used if you are configuring Compex SGX3226 for your Cable
Internet service. Once powered on, Compex SGX3226 will request for an IP address, which will
be assigned by your service provider. Certain Cable Internet Service Providers require DHCP
Client ID to be passed in before an IP address is released. For such cases, you must configure the
System Config with a System Name equivalent to the DHCP Client ID. The configuration of
System Config may be found in "System Configuration" on Page 65.
PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This type of connection should be chosen for ADSL services that use standard PPP Over Ethernet
(PPPoE) for authentication.
