At default the WAN port is set to automatically connect to your existing network using Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP). Your existing router will assign, known as lease the WAN port an IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway as well as a primary and secondary DSN Servers.
Using DHCP to connect the system is very convenient and makes it easy to install but these leased addresses
may change at any time, which could make the system dif
fi cult to locate. Therefore, it is a good idea to enter a
static IP address. You may enter a Class A or B IP address, which is used on the Internet, or a Class C, which
is reserved for a Local Area Network.
In this example, the WAN port is being connected to your existing network.
