Chapter 7 Configuring Your Wide Area Network
This section explains how to configure Compex CGX3224 to distribute Broadband Internet
Access to the Wide Area Network.
If you have chosen self-installation when you register for the broadband service, you should
first test the ADSL modem together with the logon account. Make sure it can connect
successfully before attempting to run it with Compex CGX3224.
For the purpose of illustration, it is assumed that LAN environment uses the IP address
192.168.100.xxx and Compex CGX3224 is using the default settings.
However, if you have assigned a different IP address for Compex CGX3224, then use the new
settings in the setup procedures.
7.1 Selecting the right connection for your Broadband Internet Service
Choosing the right connection type on Compex CGX3224 is important to ensure that
you are properly connected to your broadband Internet subscription. The following
summarizes the type of connection suitable for your broadband Internet subscription.
Static IP
This type of connection should only be used if and only if you have subscribed to fix IP
or a range of fix IP address from your service provider for your Cable Internet
connection or Direct Ethernet point.
Dynamic IP
This type of connection should be used if you are configuring Compex CGX3224 for
your Cable Internet service. Once powered on, Compex CGX3224 will request for an IP
address, which will be assigned by your service provider. Certain Cable Internet Service
Providers require DHCP Client ID to be passed in before an IP address is released. For
such cases, you must configure the System Config with a System Name equivalent to
the DHCP Client ID. The configuration of System Config may be found in “System
Configuration” on Page 62.
PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This type of connection should be chosen for ADSL services that use standard PPP
Over Ethernet (PPPoE) for authentication.
