4 Setting up Internet access
The LANCOM provides a central point of Internet access for all of the compu-
ters in the LAN. The connection to the Internet provider can be established via
any WAN connector, i.e. via DSL or ISDN (where available). Internet access via
ISDN can be used to backup a DSL connection.
Which WAN interface?
Setting up the Internet access is carried out with the help of a convenient
Wizard. In the first step you select the WAN interface that is to be used for
establishing the Internet connection.
To establish an Internet connection via the DSL interface, an external ADSL
modem first has to be connected to one of the device's ETH ports. When set-
ting up the Internet access, you define which ETH port the ADLS modem has
been connected to.
Does the Setup Wizard know your Internet provider?
The Wizard is preset with access data for the principal Internet providers in
your country and offers you a selection list. If you find your Internet provider
in this list, then you generally do not have to enter any additional parameters
to set up your Internet access. All that is required is the authentication data
as supplied to you by your Internet provider.
Internet provider unknown
If the list in the Setup Wizard does not contain your provider, you will be asked
step-by-step for all of the necessary data. This access data will have been sup-
plied to you by your Internet provider.
