This sub-tab enables you to configure the following WAN Ethernet settings:
General It is recommended not to change the default values unless you are familiar with the
networking concepts they represent. Since your gateway is configured to operate with the default
values, no parameter modification is necessary.
Figure 6.98 General
Schedule By default, the connection will always be active. However, you can configure scheduler
rules in order to define time segments during which the connection may be active. Once a
scheduler rule(s) is defined, the drop-down menu will allow you to choose between the available
rules. To learn how to configure scheduler rules, refer to Section 6.9.3.
Network Select whether the parameters you are configuring relate to a WAN, LAN or DMZ
connection, by selecting the connection type from the drop-down menu. For more information,
refer to Section 6.4.1. Note that when defining a network connection as DMZ, you must also:
• Remove the connection from under a bridge, if that is the case.
• Change the connection’s routing mode to “Route”, in the ‘Routing’ sub-tab.
• Add a routing rule on your external gateway (which may be supplied your ISP), informing of
the DMZ network behind iPECS SBG-1000.
Physical Address The physical address of the network interface for your network. Some
interfaces allow you to change this address.
Clone My MAC Address Press this button to copy your PC’s current MAC address to the board.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for
Internet transmission. In the default setting, Automatic, the gateway selects the best MTU for your
Internet connection. Select ‘Automatic by DHCP’ to have the DHCP determine the MTU. In case
you select ‘Manual’ it is recommended to enter a value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
