• USB/Serial is for cellular or analog modems.
• ADSL/VDSL. If you select the ADSL/VDSL interface, you must select one of these for the
connection type: PPPoE, IPoE - static IP, or IPoE - dynamic IP.
You can create a maximum of 32 internet connections.
Unassigned LAN ports use case - If your company is in a region where internet connections
supplied by ISPs are unreliable and experience multiple disconnections, you can connect your
appliances to multiple internet connections from different ISPs.
IPv4 connection types:
• Connection type - Select the connection type:
• DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically issues IP addresses
within a specified range to devices on a network. The device retains the assigned address
for a specified administrator-defined period. This does not apply to the ADSL/VDSL
interface.
• Static IP - A fixed (non-dynamic) IP address.
• PPPoE - A network protocol to encapsulate Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside
Ethernet frames. It is used mainly in DSL systems. PPPoE can run directly over the
ADSL/VDSL interface. It can also run over WAN or DMZ interfaces that are typically
connected to an external DSL modem. You must enter the IP address, the subnet mask,
default gateway and DNS Server Settings.
• IPoE - dynamic IP (DSL only) - The Internet IP of the appliance is imported through DHCP.
• IPoE - static IP (DSL) - The Internet IP of the appliance is determined statically. You must
enter the IP address, the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS Server Settings.
• PPTP - The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) uses a control channel over TCP and
a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP packets.
• L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol. It does not provide any
encryption or confidentiality but relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the
tunnel to provide privacy.
• Bridge - Connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer 2).
• Cellular Modem - Connect to the Internet with a cellular modem to the ISP through a 3G or
4G network. For this option, select the USB/Serial option in the Interface name.
• Analog Modem - Connect to the Internet with an analog modem through a USB or serial
port. For this option, select the USB/Serial option in Interface name.
Note - If you use an analog modem through the serial port, you cannot connect to the
appliance with the serial port or get terminal server functionality. For more on the terminal
server, go to Device > Advanced Settings.
Fill in the fields that are shown for the connection type.
Note - You cannot use these characters when you enter a password or shared secret: { } [ ]
