Internet Connection
In the Internet Connection page, configure your Internet connectivity details or select Configure Internet
connection later.
To configure Internet connection now:
1. Select Configure Internet connection now.
2. From the Connection type drop down list, select the protocol used to connect to the Internet.
3. Enter the fields for the selected connection protocol. The information you must enter is different for
each protocol. You can get it from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Static IP - A fixed (non-dynamic) IP address.
n
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically issues IP addresses
n
within a specified range to devices on a network. This is a common option when you connect
through a cable modem.
PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) - A network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol
n
(PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services where individual
users connect to the DSL modem over Ethernet and Metro Ethernet networks. Enter the ISP
login user name and ISP login password. Note - In the First Time Configuration Wizard, only
dynamic IP is supported.
PPTP - The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) implements virtual private networks.
n
PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP
packets.
L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private
n
networks (VPNs). It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality. It relies on an encryption
protocol that it passes within the tunnel to provide privacy.
Cellular - This is for appliances with an internal LTE modem. Both SIM cards are used for the
n
internet connection with a failover between them.
Cellular Modem - Connect to the Internet with a cellular modem to the ISP through a 3G or 4G
n
network. For this option, select the USB/Serial option in the Interface name.
Note - Only one cellular modem is supported. Appliances with an internal LTE modem do not
support an external USB modem.
Bridge - Connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer 2).
n
DNS Server (Static IP and Bridge connections) - Enter the DNS server address information in
n
the relevant fields. For DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, Cellular, and Cellular Modem the DNS
settings are supplied by your service provider. You can override these settings later in the
WebUI application, under Device > DNS.
We recommend that you configure the DNS as the appliance needs to perform DNS resolving for different
functions. For example, to connect to Check Point User Center during license activation or when Application
Control, Web Filtering, Anti-Virus, or Anti-Spam services are enabled.
To test your ISP connection status:
Click Connect.
The appliance connects to your ISP. Success or failure shows at the bottom of the page.
