Drop-in mode eases the installation of the Surf SOHO on a live network

are required on existing equipment. Check the box to enable the drop-in mode
feature.
WAN for
Drop-In
Mode
Select the WAN port to be used for drop-in mode. If
WAN
is selected, the high
availability feature will be disabled automatically.
Shared
Drop-In IP*
When this option is enabled, the passthrough IP address will be used to
connect to WAN hosts (email notification, remote syslog, etc.). The SOHO will
listen for this IP address when WAN hosts access services provided by the
SOHO (web admin access from the WAN, DNS server requests, etc.).
To connect to hosts on the LAN (email notification, remote syslog, etc.), the
default gateway address will be used. The SOHO will listen for this IP address
when LAN hosts access services provided by the SOHO(web admin access from
the WAN, DNS proxy, etc.).
Shared IP
Address*
Access to this IP address will be passed through to the LAN port if this device is
not serving the service being accessed. The shared IP address will be used in
connecting to hosts on the WAN (e.g., email notification, remote syslog, etc.)
The device will also listen on the IP address when hosts on the WAN access
services served on this device (e.g., web admin accesses from WAN, DNS server,
etc.)
