WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the PMG2006-T20A, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the PMG2006-T20A to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be
static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the PMG2006-T20A tries to access the
Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS
server IP address(es).
