Chapter 5 WAN/Internet 5.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • Use the WAN Status screen to view the WAN traffic statistics (Section 5.3 on page 55). • Use the WAN Setup screen to view, remove or add a WAN interface. You can also configure the WAN settings on the VPN2S for Internet access (Section 5.3 on page 55). • Use the Mobile screen to configure a 3G/4G WAN connection (Section 5.4 on page 64). • Use the Port Setting screen to set flexible ports as part of LAN or WAN interfaces. (Section 5.5 on page 68). • Use the Multi-WAN screen to configure the multiple WAN load balancing and failover rules to distribute traffic among different interfaces (Section 5.6 on page 69). • Use the Dynamic DNS screen to enable DDNS and configure the DDNS settings on the VPN2S (Section 5.7 on page 72).

Encapsulation Method Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user authentication. WAN IP Address The WAN IP address is an IP address for the VPN2S, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the VPN2S to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the VPN2S tries to access the Internet. If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es). 3G / 4G 3G (Third Generation)/ 4G(Fourth Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only VPN2S User's Guide 52
