Prestige 100WH Internet Access Router Table 3-5. Single User Account Menu Fields Field Description Single User Account Select [Yes] to enable SUA. WAN IP Addr. If your ISP assigns you a dynamic IP address, enter [0.0.0.0] here. If your ISP assigns you a static IP address, enter that IP address here. Server IP Addr. If you want to make an inside server (for example, a Web server) accessible to outside users, enter that server's LAN IP address here. Press [Enter] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm ...] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at any time to cancel. Please note that if you have an inside server that you want it to be visible to the outside world, then it must have a fixed IP address and not depend on a DHCP server to assign it a dynamic address. At this point, your Prestige will ask if you wish to test the Internet connection. If you select [Yes], your Prestige will call the ISP and test the connection. If the test fails, note the error message that you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps. 3.6 Configuring Backup ISP Accounts If you have more than one ISP account, you can configure a remote node for the secondary account as a backup instead of modifying Menu 4 all the time. The SUA feature can be enabled for all of these accounts, making it convenient to switch to another ISP when one is not available. 3-12 Chapter 3 Internet Access Application
