7.1.4 IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you
a different one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you
have either a dynamic or static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences
your choices for IP address and ENET ENCAP gateway.
7.1.4.1 IP Assignment with PPPoA or PPPoE Encapsulation
If you have a dynamic IP, then the
IP Address
and
ENET ENCAP Gateway
fields are not
applicable (N/A). If you have a static IP, then you
only
need to fill in the
IP Address
field and
not
the
ENET ENCAP Gateway
field.
7.1.4.2 IP Assignment with RFC 1483 Encapsulation
In this case the IP Address Assignment
must
be static with the same requirements for the
IP
Address
and
ENET ENCAP Gateway
fields as stated above.
7.1.4.3 IP Assignment with ENET ENCAP Encapsulation
In this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the
IP
Address
and
ENET ENCAP Gateway
fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a
dynamic IP, the ZyXEL Device acts as a DHCP client on the WAN port and so the
IP
Address
and
ENET ENCAP Gateway
fields are not applicable (N/A) as the DHCP server
assigns them to the ZyXEL Device.
7.1.5 Nailed-Up Connection (PPP)
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic
demand. The ZyXEL Device does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The
first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the ZyXEL Device will try to bring up
the connection when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection
can be very expensive for obvious reasons.
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service
or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern
7.1.6 NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a
host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one
network to a different IP address known within another network.
