WAN Setup and Dial Backup

Chapter 6

WAN Setup and Dial Backup

This chapter describes how to configure the WAN using menu 2 and dial-backup using menus 2,

2.1 and 11.1.

6.1

Cloning The MAC Address

The MAC address field allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by using either the factory

default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the

address will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the

setting in menu 2 or upload a different rom file.

ZyXEL recommends that you clone the MAC address of a computer on your LAN

even if your ISP does not require MAC address authentication.

Dial Backup

The AUX/CON port can be used in reserve, as a traditional dial-up connection should the broadband

connection from the WAN port fail. To set up the auxiliary port (Dial Backup) for use in the event that the

regular WAN connection is dropped, first make sure you have set up the CON/AUX switch and port

connection (see the

Hardware Installation

chapter), then configure:

Menu 2 - WAN Setup

,

Menu 2.1 - Advanced WAN Setup

and

Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP)

as shown next.

Refer also to the traffic redirect section in this User’s Guide for information on an alternate backup WAN

connection.
