9.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the NBG7815’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG7815 for
Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It
connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks. A computer in
one location can communicate with computers connected through a Switch (
B ) in other locations
through the NBG7815 ( A ).
