Chapter 6 Configuring Your Wide Area Network
This section explains how to configure Compex SGX3226 to distribute Broadband Internet
Access to the Wide Area Network.
6.1 Selecting the Right connection for your Broadband Internet Service
Choosing the right connection type on Compex SGX3226 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 SGX3226 for
your Cable Internet service. Once powered on, Compex SGX3226 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 61.
PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This type of connection should be chosen for ADSL services that use standard PPP
Over Ethernet (PPPoE) for authentication.
