Position of the LAN ports (internal switch not displayed here)
The following Ethernet ports are on the main board:
●
WAN: This port is suitable only for connecting a DSL modem or connection
to an external Internet Router.
●
LAN1: You should use this port for the connection to your company’s
network.
●
LAN2 and LAN3: You should use these LAN ports to connect your VoIP
system telephones.
Tip:
Use one of the LAN ports, LAN1, LAN2 or LAN3 to temporarily
connect a service PC.
WAN Port
Forum 523/524 can be connected to an external DSL modem and to an
Internet router. The most secure Internet port, which is also separate from the
LAN, is a WAN port. Transfer rates and operating modes are switched auto-
matically („Auto-Sensing function”). Connections requiring a crossover
connection cord are also automatically switched.
Connect the ethernet port of the DSL modem to the Forum 523/524’s WAN
port. Forum 523/524 will operate the DSL modem using the PPPoE protocol.
