VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 327W)
13.2.3
Configuring VersaPort (LAN Ethernet/WAN Uplink)
If you clicked the
VersaPort (Ethernet 1)
link in the
Network Connections
screen, the following screen will
appear. This screen allows you to select how the UPLINK/E1 port on the rear of the Router will be used.
Select one of the following modes from the drop-down menu:
•
LAN Ethernet port:
This mode allows you to use the Router’s DSL port for WAN access (the Router’s
DSL functionality is enabled).
•
WAN Uplink port.
This mode allows you to use the Router as an Ethernet Gateway (for example,
connecting to a cable modem or to another ADSL device that provides WAN access). In
WAN Uplink
mode, the Router’s DSL functionality is disabled.
NOTE:
The menu options displayed will vary according to the configuration you have chosen to use, LAN Ethernet
port or WAN Uplink port. If you are using WAN Uplink port, some menu options will not be available. However,
all menu options will be available when the Router is enabled for LAN Ethernet port. Instructions on enabling and
disabling LAN Ethernet port and WAN Uplink port are explained in the following sections. This document was
created with the Router configured for LAN Ethernet port.
