Static Ip - Patton SmartNode SN101/1JS/E User Manual

SmartNode 100 Series ATA User Manual
A wide area network (WAN) is a network connection connecting one or more local area networks (LANs)
together over some distance. For example, two networked office buildings separated by several miles would be
referred to as a WAN connection. The size of a WAN and the number of distinct LANs connected to a WAN
is not limited by any definition. Therefore, the Internet can be called a WAN.
For most users, Internet access is the primary application. The ATA supports the WAN interface for Internet
access and remote access. The WAN settings on the Internet Connection window are used to connect to your
Internet service provider (ISP). The WAN settings are provided by your ISP and are often referred to as "public
settings".
The following sections will explain details of WAN port Internet access and broadband access set up.

Static IP

If you are a leased-line user with a fixed IP address, type the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and
DNS (domain name server) address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must
be in the appropriate IP form, which are four octets separated by three dots (x.x.x.x). The ATA will not accept
the IP address if it is not in this format.
