Configuring WAN Partners

7.3 Configuring WAN Partners
To enable X4000 to make connections to networks or hosts outside your LAN,
you must configure the partners you want to connect to as WAN partners on
your X4000 . This applies to outgoing connections ( X4000 dials its WAN
partner), as well as for incoming connections (a WAN partner dials the number
of your X4000 ) and leased lines.
Consequently, if you want to access the Internet, you must set up your Internet
Service Provider (
➤➤
ISP ) as a WAN partner. If you wish to establish a LAN-
LAN connection, e.g. between your LAN (head office) and the LAN of a branch
office (corporate network connection), you have to configure the LAN of your
branch office as a WAN partner.
If you have set up one or more leased lines on configuring the WAN interface(s)
of X4000 , a WAN partner for each leased line is already created automatically
in the WAN Partner menu. Edit this entry to suit your requirements.
General The procedure for configuring or editing a WAN partner in X4000 is explained
in general form in chapter 7.3.1, page 159 below.
Examples A number of frequently required configuration examples are shown in
