you have configured a highly complex routing list, it is recommended
that at least one of your internet connections is listed as Default Route.
Get IP Address In most cases your ISP will automatically assign and IP address for
your ADSL connection. In the rare case where you are provided with a
static address, you are able to configure it here.
NAT If you wish to disable to Network Address Translation mode of the
firewall, it can be done on this drop-down menu. We do not
recommend that you do this unless absolutely needed. An example of
where you would need to do this is if you are using the VPN Lite
service, in which case you would disable this function for the VPN lite
interface.
Firewall This can be disabled if desired, however we strongly recommend not
doing so unless you are absolutely sure of the need for it. As is the case
with NAT, a typical example of this would be when using the VPN lite
function.
You can add more than one internet connection on the ADSL interface. You may however
experience difficulty with packet routing when doing this if you select both as the default
connection, so it should be used with care. Typically, this sort of setup would be done to
either allow for quick switching between internet accounts using the Activated/Deactivated
radio button, or by adding an entry for a specific IP address range into the routing table.
To add a WAN interface:
1. Select an available Virtual Circuit from the drop-down box
NOTE: PVC0 is the default first ADSL connection. PVC1 is automatically used if
you configure the VPN lite function, and should be avoided for general use. PVC6
and PVC7 will not be available to the ADSL connection if Eth WAN is enabled.
