WAN Static IP Easy Setup
In some cases your Internet Service Provider will have you configure all of the
necessary information manually. This is common when you are assigned a static
IP address that will not change. The needed configuration information is
available from your Internet Service Provider. Below are the steps necessary to
configure a Static connection.
In a Static IP connection all Internet parameters such as the MultiCom Firewall’s
IP address, IP subnet, default gateway, and external DNS servers must be
manually configured. If your ISP has told you to manually configure your WAN
interface this is where you will enter in the information that they send you.
