Last Updated : Apr 21, 2016 |

Navigation: System Settings > WAN Port > Add/Edit WAN Port > Sync PPP

Use these settings to configure a WAN port.

On IP500 V2 systems, these settings configure the leased line connected to the WAN port on the Control Unit. Normally this connection is automatically detected by the control unit. If a WAN Port is not displayed, connect the WAN cable, reboot the Control Unit and receive the configuration. The WAN Port configuration form is now be added.

These settings are not mergeable. Changes to these settings will require a reboot of the system.

Field

Description

Name

The physical ID of the Extension port,. This parameter is not configurable; it is allocated by the system.

Speed
