Overview

In order to access the Internet through your UTM-1 appliance, you must configure one of
the following connection types:
•
Ethernet-based connection
You can configure an Ethernet-based connection in all models. An Ethernet-based
connection can be connected to another network by means of a switch, a router, a
bridge, or an Ethernet-enabled broadband modem.
In ADSL models, the Ethernet-based connection is configured on the DMZ/WAN2
port. In non-ADSL models, you can use the WAN port, the DMZ/WAN2 port, or both
ports for an Ethernet-based Internet connection.
•
Direct ADSL connection
You can configure a direct ADSL connection in UTM-1 ADSL models only. These
models include an integrated ADSL modem, which enables you to connect the
appliance directly to your ADSL line without using an additional modem or router.
