Description: This document describes how to set up Internet access over a plain Ethernet connection. This type of Internet access is used when the LANCOM router is connected to another upstream router or cable modem that actively provides access to the Internet. The configuration is carried out for the following example scenario. - The LANCOM router is connected to another upstream router or cable modem, which is connected to Ethernet port WAN of the LANCOM router.
- The upstream device actively establishes the Internet connection.
- The LANCOM router is already connected to the local network via Ethernet interface ETH 1.
- All of the PCs in the local network of the LANCOM router are to have access to the Internet.
Procedure:1) Start the program LANconfig and mark the LANCOM router which is to be set up with the plain Ethernet connection. 2) Right-click on the LANCOM router and select the option Setup Wizard. 3) Select the option Set up Internet access and confirm with Next: 4) In the following dialog, select the option Ethernet interface (external modem/router). 5) In the following step, select the physical interface to be used for the connection.

The configured values are then written to the LANCOM router. 12) This concludes the steps required for the configuration. Once this configuration has been written back to the LANCOM router, the Internet connection is available for use. |
