Static IP Address
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. 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.
2. 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.
3. If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the
values assigned for your account.
4. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured
correctly, click the
Apply Settings
button. This will save the
settings and reboot the Router to let your changes take effect.
5. Upon restarting, the Router should automatically establish the
WAN connection. If it does not, click the
Connect
button at the
bottom of this window.
