Internet Connection
On the Internet Connection page, configure your Internet connectivity details or select
Configure Internet connection later.
To configure Internet connection now:
1. Select Configure Internet connection now.
2. From the Connection type drop down list, select the protocol used to connect to the
Internet.
3. Enter the fields for the selected connection protocol. The information you must enter is
different for each protocol. You can get it from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
n Static IP - A fixed (non-dynamic) IP address.
n DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically issues IP
addresses within a specified range to devices on a network. This is a common
option when you connect through a cable modem.
n PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) - A network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services
where individual users connect to the DSL modem over Ethernet and Metro
Ethernet networks. Enter the ISP login user name and ISP login password. Note -
In the First Time Configuration Wizard, only dynamic IP is supported.
n PPTP - The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) implements virtual private
networks. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to
encapsulate PPP packets.
n L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support
virtual private networks (VPNs). It does not provide any encryption or
confidentiality. It relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the tunnel to
provide privacy.
n Cellular - This is only for appliances with an internal LTE modem. Both SIM cards
are used for the internet connection with a failover between them.
n Cellular Modem - This does not apply to Wired models. Connect to the Internet
with a cellular modem to the ISP through a 3G or 4G network. For this option,
select the USB/Serial option in the Interface name.
Note - Only one cellular modem is supported. Appliances with an internal
LTE modem do not support an external USB modem. Only customers with
an approved RFE will be supported with the external modem specified in
the RFE.
n Bridge - Connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer 2).
