Internet Configuration Wizard
The
Internet Configuration Wizard
is the helpful tool for the administrator to configure the WAN interface settings and to adjust Quadro’s
connectivity with an external network. The
Internet
Configuration Wizard MUST be run if it is desired for Quadro to be connected to the
Internet
. The Wizard allows navigating through the following basic configuration parameters and settings:
•
Uplink configuration (see below)
For WAN Interface protocol PPPoE:
•
PPP Configuration
•
WAN Interface Configuration
•
•
•
For WAN Interface protocol Ethernet:
•
WAN IP Configuration
•
WAN Interface Configuration
•
The
Switch to Auto Provisioning
link moves you to the
Automatic Provisioning
page where Quadro can be configured by the automatically
provisioning mechanism.
All the settings of the
Internet Configuration Wizard
are described
in the chapters below except those for the IP settings, which will be
described in this chapter.
Please Note:
It is strongly recommended to leave the factory
default settings if their meanings are not fully clear to the
administrating person.

The
Uplink Configuration
page allows to select the Quadro‘s WAN
interface connection type and its bandwidth settings. These settings
make Quadro available to the external network.
Depending on the Uplink Interface Protocol selection, the page
following the
Uplink Configuration
page is different. Thus if
PPPoE
is selected, the next page will be
PPP Configuration
, while
selecting
Ethernet
will bring up the
WAN IP Configuration
page.
The
Uplink
Configuration
page offers the following components:
The
WAN Interface Protocol
radio buttons are used to choose the
protocol depending on the requirements of the ISP (Internet Service
Provider):
PPPoE
- turns on the PPP over Ethernet connection type.
PPTP
– turns on the Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (
PPTP
)
interface used for the connection between Quadro and ADSL
modem. Fixed IP address configuration is needed in this case.
Ethernet
- turns on the Ethernet connection type.
ISP changes IP Address (NAT
or
Masquerade)
needs to be
checked if Quadro is placed "behind" a NAT or masquerading
device, for example, if the ISP (Internet Service Provider) runs such
a device thereby changing the IP address. This is important at least
for VPN and SIP to work correctly behind NAT.
