WAN & Uplink
The NTC-400 Series Router provides multiple WAN interfaces to let all client hosts behind the router to access the Internet.
The WAN Connection lets you specify the WAN Physical Interface, WAN Internet Setup and WAN Load Balance for computers
behind the router to access the Internet. For each WAN interface, you must specify its physical interface first and then its
Internet setup to connect to your ISP. Because the gateway has multiple WAN interfaces, you can assign a physical interface
to participate in the Load Balance function.
3.1.1
Physical Interface
WAN interfaces can be configured individually to provide the desired internet connection setup. The first step to configuring
a WAN interface is to specify the kind of connection medium to be used for the WAN connection, as shown in "Physical
Interface" page. On the "Physical Interface" page, there are two configuration windows, "Physical Interface List" and
"Interface Configuration". The "Physical Interface List" window shows all the available physical interfaces. After clicking on
the "Edit" button for the interface on the "Physical Interface List" window, the "Interface Configuration" window will appear
to let you configure a WAN interface.
Physical Interface
Ethernet WAN: The router has one RJ-45 WAN port that can be configured to be a WAN connection. You can directly
connect to an external DSL modem or setup behind a firewall device.
3G/4G WAN: The router has one built-in 3G/4G cellular module which operates as a WAN connection. You can insert
two SIM cards to use the failover feature.
Wi-Fi Uplink WAN: One of the Wi-Fi networks can be used as a WAN connection.
Operation Mode
There are three options: Always on, Failover, and Disable for the operation mode setting.
Always on: Set this WAN interface to be active all the time. When two or more WAN connections are established at
"Always on" mode, outgoing data will go through these WAN connections bases on load balance policies.
Failover: A failover interface is a backup connection to the primary. That means only when its primary WAN
connection is broken, the backup connection will be started up to substitute the primary connection.
WAN-2 is a backup for WAN-1. WAN-1 serves as the primary connection with operation mode "Always on". WAN-2
won't be activated until WAN-1 disconnected. When WAN-1 connection is recovered back with a connection, it will
take over data traffic again. At that time, WAN-2 connection will be terminated.
