Broadband

6.1 Overview

This chapter discusses the EMG’s Broadband screens. Use these screens to configure your EMG for

Internet access.

A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It

connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a

computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
