Network Setup
WAN & LAN Setup
WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network connection connecting one or more LANs together over some
distance. For example, the means of connecting two office buildings separated by several kilometers
would be referred to as a WAN connection. The size of a WAN and the number of distinct LANs
connected to a WAN is not limited by any definition. Therefore, the Internet may be called a WAN.
WAN Settings are settings that are used to connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The WAN
settings are provided to you by your ISP and often times referred to as "public settings". Please select
the appropriate option for your specific ISP.
For most users, Internet access is the primary application. IP PBX supports the WAN interface for
internet access and remote access. The following sections will explain more details of WAN Port
Internet access and broadband access setup. When you click “WAN & LAN Setup”, the following setup
page will be shown. Three methods are available for Internet Access.
