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.
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.
Underlying Connection Specify the underlying connection above which the protocol will be
initiated.
Internet Protocol Select one of the following Internet protocol options from the ‘Internet Protocol’
combo-box:
• Unnumbered
• Obtain an IP Address Automatically
• Use the Following IP Address
Please note that the screen will refresh to display relevant configuration settings according to your
choice.
Unnumbered Select this option to assign a predefined LAN address as iPECS SBG-1000’s
WAN address. This is useful when iPECS SBG-1000 operates in routing mode. Before selecting
this option, configure the ‘Internet Protocol’ of your LAN device (or bridge, in case the LAN
device is under a bridge) to use a permanent (static) IP address from the range of IP addresses
