Enabling LAN Etherne Port—Disabling WAN Uplink Port
If you select
LAN Ethernet
in the
VersaPort
screen, this will enable the Router’s DSL transceiver, and the Router
will use its DSL port as the WAN interface. This configuration will disable the WAN Uplink port (
E1/UPLINK
on
the rear of the Router).
•
When
LAN Ethernet port
is selected, the
DSL
port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is the WAN
interface to the Internet.
•
When
WAN Uplink port
is selected, the
E1/UPLINK
port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is the
WAN uplink to another ADSL device through which you will make your Internet connection.
Remember, you must click
Apply
to allow the settings to take effect in the Router.
NOTE:
1. When using the optional E1/UPLINK port, Ethernet LAN connection is limited to E2, E3, and E4.
The WAN Uplink feature is optional, and if it is disabled, the Router will use DSL only as the WAN interface.
2. Some menu options are unavailable when the Router is configured for
WAN Uplink port.
However, all of the
Router’s menu options are displayed when the Router is configured for
LAN Ethernet port
.
3. The Router’s factory default setting is
LAN Ethernet port.
4. If WAN Uplink is not enabled in the .ini file, the Router will use DSL only as the WAN interface.
