Basic Setup
Setting up a VPN and configuring the Firewall on the DFL-1500 requires a deeper
understanding of the protocols and security features of the DFL-1500 than can be
presented here. If you need additional information about setting up a VPN or
configuring the Firewall, please consult your
DFL-1500
User’s Guide
or your Network
Administrator.
Please Note:
Each configuration page has buttons on the bottom labeled
Apply
and
Reset
. When
you configure any page, you must press the
Apply
button to make the configuration
effective. You
CANNOT
configure multiple pages, and then press
Apply
. Each page
must have the configuration information ‘applied’ before going on to the next page.
WAN Settings
The WAN Settings page allows you to modify the protocol that the DFL-1500 will use
to connect to your ISP and obtain the necessary network address information.
The usage of these pages is essentially the same as those introduced in the wizard
pages. The ISP Settings page allows you to modify the way that the DFL-1500 obtains
its network settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The entry fields on the
page will change depending upon which of the following options you choose:
Fixed IP
Address, Get IP Automatically,
and
PPPoE
.
1. Fixed
IP
Address
If your ISP has assigned you an IP address that will never change, choose this option.
When this option is chosen, the following fields appear to allow you to enter the
network address information. The example shows that the ISP assigns an IP
61.2.1.1
,
a netmask
255.255.255.0
, a default gateway
61.2.1.254
, and
DNS (
168.95.1.1
).
