Chapter 2 Configuration
Internet Setup – Static IP
When the Router is configured to use Static IP Address
assignment for the WAN connection, you must manually assign
a global IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway IP
address used for the WAN connection.
To configure a Static IP Address WAN connection, follow these
steps:
1. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu.
This defines both the connection protocol and
encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are 1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged
IP VC-Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC and 1483 Routed IP
VC-Mux. If you have not been provided specific
information for this setting, leave the default setting.
2. Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway as instructed by your ISP. These are the global
IP settings for the WAN interface. This is the "visible" IP
address of your account. Your ISP should have provided
these IP settings to you. If your ISP also asks you to
change DNS server IP addresses, enter the Preferred
DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server information
manually.
3. The Enable Firewall should remain selected for most
users. If you deselect to disable this you will not be able
to use the some of the features configured in the firewall
and filter windows located in the Advanced directory.
The next chapter contains a separate section describing
these Advanced features.
4. Enable NAT should remain selected. If you disable NAT,
you will not be able to use more than one computer for
Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual
connections, NAT functions system-wide, therefore if it is
not selected, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
5. Most users will want to keep Enable IGMP selected as it
allows IGMP packets to go through the WAN interface in
