3.3 Setup
To setup your SOHOSpeed with a basic configuration, from the Main page, select
Setup
. The
figure below illustrates the Setup page. The page is divided into two subsections: the LAN
Setup and the WAN Setup.
Before configuring the SOHOSpeed, there are several concepts that you should be familiar
with on how your new SOHOSpeed works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with
these concepts, as it should make the configuration much easier.
3.3.1 Wide Area Network (WAN) Connection
On one side of the SOHOSpeed is the WAN interface, also referred to as a broadband
connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN service provider. Most of the
configuration you perform is for the WAN connection.
3.3.2 Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
On the other side of the SOHOSpeed are LAN interfaces. This is where local hosts are
connected. The SOHOSpeed is normally configured to automatically provide all the hosts on
the LAN network with IP addresses.
