Wizard step 4: Select the WAN interface settings
This step selects how the WAN connection to the Internet will function. It can be one of
Manual
configuration
,
DHCP
,
PPPoE
or
PPTP
as shown below.
These four different connection options are discussed next in the following subsections 4A to
4D.
•
4A. Static - manual configuration
Information supplied by the ISP should be entered in the next wizard screen. All fields need
to be entered except for the
Secondary DNS server
field.
•
4B. DHCP - automatic configuration
All required IP addresses will automatically be retrieved from the ISP's DHCP server with this
option. No further configuration is required for this so it does not have its own wizard screen.
•
4C. PPPoE settings
The username and password supplied by your ISP for PPPoE connection should be entered.
The
Service
field should be left blank unless the ISP supplies a value for it.
