you want to use. The default is 2,
and the maximum number is 7. You
can also change the number of
WAN ports using the Port Setup page
of the Port Management tab. If you
change the number on this screen,
then the number on the

Make sure the network configuration
matches the number of WAN port

If you change the number of WAN
ports, a confirmation message will
appear. Click the OK button to save
the new setting. You must save this
setting before you can click Edit to
change the settings of any new WAN

of the selected WAN port.
The WAN Setting table will display the
WAN port numbers in the Interface

nection types in the Connection

fig. column to change the WAN set-
tings of the selected WAN port. The
