5. Initial Network Setup
5.1. Network Requirement
Typically, in a network environment, WHG Controller plays the role of a gateway. On a gateway device, a network
port leading upstream to the Internet or the backbone network is called a ‘WAN port’ or an uplink port, while a
network port used for branching out to the service the clients downstream is referred as ‘LAN port’.
WHG Controller consists of two WAN ports, which are normally linked up to different routers or modems leading to
ISP. A gateway needs one WAN port only, but if you want dual-homing or dual -uplink to add reliability and
throughput, the second WAN port lets you achieve that goal.
5.2. Managing System Date & Time
Go to Main Menu > System > General page. The system time can be configured manually or calibrated
automatically through external NTP Servers. Accurate system time is critical when it comes to billing and online
payment.
Calibrate system time using NTP servers, fill in at least one valid NTP server address and apply.
Manually set system time and apply.
