Here are some special hints you may use when configuring your SmartNode:
There are three different configuration options for the WAN Internet connection (see figure 14 ):
• DHCP (client—factory default). The SmartNode’s WAN port has a DHCP client enabled that uses an

For each box containing an “Apply” button, fill in the required fields
and press “apply” once. The settings are applied immediately after
the button is pressed. If there are several boxes with an “Apply” but-

for each box separately. This saves the new configuration parameters
in volatile memory (RAM) only.
The “alert” symbol shows you that somewhere a user input is missing
for correct functionality. In the case of the present WAN page, you
can ignore them, because the respective title bullet (“PPP over Ether-
net”) is not selected.
The “info” symbol denotes hints to ease configuration or to avoid pit-
falls. Read them whenever you encounter them!
