7.3.2 CAT6/7/15
To configure the WAN Settings on a CAT6/7/15 CPE (Figure 30, Figure 31, and Table 5):
1. Select one of the following for the Operation Mode:
•
NAT - Allows multiple hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public
IP address. When NAT is selected, all eight Access Point Name (APN) gateways can be
configured for either Default Router, Data, Mgmt, Voip, or Reserve.
•
Router - The CPE will dynamically update the router tables.
Tunnel - The CPE will support Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or Generic Routing
•
Encapsulation (GRE) VPN mode. You can set the Default Route to VPN or WAN.
•
Bridge - The WAN port addresses will bridge to the LAN port; the LAN port will work in
trunking mode.
•
Mixed Mode - Each Access Point Name, or external gateway, can be configured with a
different mode, either NAT or Bridge, and a different bearer type.
Figure 31 shows how the settings will appear for each operation mode.
2. In the Profile List you will see up to eight APNs. You must have at least one APN configured for
the CPE TR-069 connection to the Baicells CloudCore, Local OMC (Operations Management
Console), or other Network Management System (NMS). Therefore, APN1 is the default router
Bear Type. When using more than one APN, for example if you have a different route and Quality
of Service (QoS) or other treatment for voice traffic than for data, you can edit the Bear Type by
selecting the radio button under Edit and in Profile Setting choose the Bear Type.
3. For DNS Mode, you can select either Automatic or Manually. The DNS server translates domain
names such as www.na.baicells.com into their underlying IP addresses. The service provider may
use DNS servers to cache domain names frequented by its users, so the sites load more quickly
in a browser.
If you select Automatic, the CPE will check the first available DNS in the network to resolve the
domain name to IP address translation. If you select Manually, specify a Primary DNS IP address
and a Secondary DNS IP address.
