8 Setting up your Device
This section describes how to configure the device for connecting it to the Internet (WAN).
You can connect the device to the Internet using one of the following methods:
Configuring the device through the Web interface – see Section 8.1 on page 73
Using the device's Automatic Internet Dialer Detection feature – see Section 8.1.3 on
page 80
Notes:
• Your device automatically detects the physical WAN type (i.e., Ethernet or
xDSL). To change the WAN type, you must restore the device to factory
settings (see Section 19.9).
• When connected to xDSL, the LAN4/WAN Ethernet port can be used for
Ethernet LAN interface.
• When connected to an external modem through the Ethernet LAN4/WAN
port and the device obtains an IP address, the xDSL interface is disabled.
• If the Automatic Dialer feature is shipped preconfigured (i.e., enabled),
then the device automatically detects the Internet dialer type and
therefore, Internet connection configuration is unnecessary. However, it is
recommended to manually configure the Internet connection after the
Automatic Dialer process has completed (successfully or not). For more
information on the Automatic Dialer feature, see Section 8.1.3 on page 80.
8.1 Setting up an Internet Connection using the Web
Interface
You can quickly and easily set up a basic Internet connection using the Web interface’s
'Quick Setup' screen (as shown in Figure 8-1). This screen is displayed when you log in to
the Web interface (or you can click the Quick Setup menu from the menu bar).
Notes:
• Before configuring the device's Internet connection, ensure that you have
obtained relevant technical information on the Internet connection type
from your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). For example,
whether you are connected to the Internet using a static or dynamic IP
address, or what protocols such as PPTP or PPPoE are used to
communicate over the Internet.
• For advanced configuration of the WAN network, use the Network
Connections menu, as described in Section 12.1 on page 153.
