Nexland ISB SOHO: Interface Screens
18
Static IP & DNS
If you have a Static IP account from your ISP or are using the ISB behind another
gateway device, enter the network information here. This screen is similar to a
computer's “Network Properties” screen.
Unit WAN IP
: The IP address of the external (WAN) side of the ISB.
Network Mask
: This mask is used to determine where packets are sent (internal or
external). Custom ISP accounts might require a change; otherwise leave it at its
default of 255.255.255.0 (Class "C" network).
Gateway
: Needed by the ISB to know where to send WAN packets.
Domain Name Servers
: Up to three Domain Name Servers can be entered. These are
needed for Static accounts. Entries are not needed for standard (dynamic) Internet
accounts, or accounts where a DHCP server gives out the information. But you can
override and enter your own settings for any Internet account.
Click Save after entering all information.

Status
Most of the information on this screen should be self-explanatory.
Physical Address
is the MAC address of the ISB, both LAN and WAN.
If you have trouble accessing the Internet, confirm that you have a WAN IP address.
If you do, there might be a DNS or other problem at your ISP. In any case, have this
screen handy when calling Nexland Support.
