The displayed items on this page are described in the sections that follow:
WAN Connection — By default, the access point WAN port is configured with
DHCP enabled. After you have network access to the access point, you can use the
web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed. The options
are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, 3G, PPTP, L2TP and Bigpond. Each option changes
the parameters displayed below it. (Default: DHCP)
Backup WAN — A backup failsafe connection for the WAN port (Dual WAN.)
Options are determined by the WAN Connection selected. Backup WAN and WAN
Connection parameters are identical for each of their seven equivilent modes: Static
IP, DHCP, PPPoE, 3G, PPTP, L2TP and Bigpond. (Default: None)
•
Main WAN Fallback : When the Backup WAN is enabled, Main WAN Fallback can
be enabled to periodically search the primary WAN port for recovery of the lost
connection. If connection is re-established the connection switches back to the
primary WAN connection. (Default: Disabled)
Note: When 3G is selected as the primary WAN Connection the Backup WAN must be a
DSL/Cable connection.
