Enabling WAN Uplink Port—Disabling LAN Ethernet Port
If you selected
WAN Uplink port
in the
VersaPort
screen, this will disable the Router’s DSL transceiver and the
DSL port. This configuration allows the port labeled
UPLINK/E1
on the rear of the Router to become the WAN
interface port. Then, you can use
UPLINK/E1
to uplink to another ADSL device, through which you can connect to
the Internet.
•
When
LAN Ethernet port
is selected, the
DSL
port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is the WAN
interface to the Internet.
•
When
WAN Uplink port
is selected, the
UPLINK/E1
port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is the
WAN uplink to another ADSL device through which you will make your Internet connection.
Remember, you must click
Apply
to allow the settings to take effect in the Router.
NOTE:
1. When using the optional UPLINK/E1 port, Ethernet LAN connection is limited to E2, E3, and E4.
The UPLINK feature is optional and, if it is disabled, the Router will use DSL only as the WAN interface.
2. All of the Router’s menu options are displayed when the Router is configured for
LAN Ethernet port
. However,
some menu options are unavailable when the Router is configured for
WAN Uplink port.
The sections explained
throughout this document will indicate when a menu item is unavailable.
3. The Router’s factory default setting is
LAN Ethernet port.
4. If UPLINK is not enabled in the .ini file, the Router will use DSL only.
If you selected
WAN Uplink port
, the following pop-up screen will be displayed.
The Router must be reset to allow
the new configuration to take effect. Click
OK
to continue.
If you clicked
OK
, the following screen will appear. After a brief delay, the home page will be displayed.
Remember, when WAN Uplink port is configured, the Router will not have a DSL link.
