You may find the following hints helpful when configuring your Smart-DTA:
Accessing the Internet
The Smart-DTA suports three types of WAN (Internet or corporate-Private) access:
•
DHCP (factory default)
•
PPPoE
•
Fixed IP address
To modify the WAN access configuration, go to the Smart-DTA WAN page:
1. In the configuration menu pane, click WAN.
The Smart-DTA, immediately applies your changes whenever you
modify the configuration. Howver, your new settings ARE NOT
PERMANENTLY SAVED in non-volatile memory [RAM]. To survive
power failure or manual reload you must store your new settings
in non-volatile memory. To save your changes: return to the home
page and press the Save Current Configuration button.
For each box containing an “Apply” button, fill in the required fields
and press “apply” once. The settings are applied immediately after
the button is pressed. If there are several boxes with an “Apply” but-
ton on one page, fill in the information per box and press the button
for each box separately. This saves the new configuration parameters
in volatile memory (RAM) only.
The “alert” symbol shows you that somewhere a user input is missing
for correct functionality. In the case of the present WAN page, you
can ignore them, because the respective title bullet (“PPP over Ether-
net”) is not selected.
The “info” symbol denotes hints to ease configuration or to avoid pit-
falls. Read them whenever you encounter them!
