a public network like the Internet. Therefore the WAN interface is configured according to how it
will be used.
Label
Description
Interface Type
You can select from the following interface types:
DSL:
Select this option if your router is directly connected to a DSL modem that connects to the In-
ternet.
DHCP:
Select this setting if there is a DHCP server on the network which is therefore automatically
assigned a new IP address by the industrial router.
Please also contact your network ad-
ministrator to confirm this.
Static IP:
Select this setting if connection to the Internet is via an existing router which is not acting as a
DHCP sever, or if no server is set up to assign addresses. You should also select this setting
if you have received a static address from your ISP, e.g. if you have a leased line. Note also
that this type of connection requires you to enter a DNS server (see
Network
– DNS Server
).
WAN IP address:
IP address of the router connected to the WAN port.
Netmask:
enter the subnet mask.
Default gateway:
enter details of the gateway that connects you to the Internet, i.e. the IP
address of the existing router.
