Basic Setup
Setting up a VPN and configuring the Firewall on the MH-5000 requires a deeper
understanding of the protocols and security features of the MH-5000 than can be
presented here. If you need additional information about setting up a VPN or
configuring the Firewall, please consult your
MH-5000
User
’
s Guide
or your Network
Administrator.
Please Note:
Each configuration page has buttons on the bottom labeled
Apply
and
Reset
. When
you configure any page, you must press the
Apply
button to make the configuration
effective. You
CANNOT
configure multiple pages, and then press
Apply
. Each page
must have the configuration information
‘
applied
’
before going on to the next page.
WAN Settings
The WAN Settings page allows you to modify the protocol that the MH-5000 will use
to connect to your ISP and obtain the necessary network address information.
The usage of these pages is essentially the same as those introduced in the wizard
pages. The ISP Settings page allows you to modify the way that the MH-5000
obtains its network settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The entry
fields on the page will change depending upon which of the following options you
choose:
Fixed IP Address, Get IP Automatically,
and
PPPoE
.
1. Get IP Automatically
If your ISP uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign an IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS addresses, choose this option.
