Chapter 9
Setting up of Wide Area Network using Gateway Mode
This chapter will elaborate on how the Compex WP11B+ can be set as a Broadband Internet
Gateway. As the Compex WP11B+ supports different types of broadband connections, it is
important that you choose the right connection type.
9.1
Selecting the Right connection for your Broadband Internet Service
The following summarizes the type of connection suitable for your broadband Internet
subscription.
Static IP
This type of connection should only be used if and only if you have subscribed to a
fixed IP address or a range of fixed IP addresses from your service provider for your
Internet connection.
Dynamic IP
This type of connection should be used if you are configuring the Compex WP11B+ for
your Internet service. Once powered on, the Compex WP11B+ will request for an IP
address, which will be automatically assigned by your service provider. Certain Internet
Service Providers require DHCP Client ID before an IP address is released. For such
cases, you must configure the
System Identity
with a
System Name
and this is
equivalent to the DHCP Client ID. The configuration of
System Identity
may be found
in the section on
“System Identity”
.
PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This type of connection should be chosen for ADSL services in countries that use
standard PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for authentication. This includes Germany which
uses T-1 connection.
NOTE
If you are using SingTel Magix SuperSurf in Singapore, you should select
Singapore ADSL (Ethernet 512K)
. Subscribers of SingNet Broadband and
Pacific Internet Broadband should select
PPPoE
as their WAN types.
Australia BPA Cable
This type of connection is specially customized for BPA Cable Internet subscribers in
Australia.
NOTE
If you are using Big Pond Cable Internet in Australia, you should select
Australia BPA Cable as the WAN type for your Compex WP11B+.
