[. . . ] You just have to type the data you wrote down into the respective field that you'll find in the section Advanced>Internet Connection. Remember that you must change the Mode to Static IP. 52 AConfigureLaFonera A. ConfigureLaFonera · IMPORTANT NOTE: The only data that will change in this field is the IP Address. Here you must take into consideration all the devices that connect to your network, as they can also have a static IP. There's only one condition: the IP address you type can't be the same as the one used for another device. An easy way to avoid the conflict is for you to locate the device with the highest IP and add 1 to it (the maximum is 254). For example, if the IP for a device is 192. 168. 10. 156, a valid value for this field would be 192. 168. 10. 157. PPPoE (point-to-point protocol over Ethernet) This protocol is very often used by Cable ISPs. If you have this type of connection, you'll need to enter some information into the available fields. You can get this information from your ISP, so search through the information they've sent you or get in touch with them to obtain it. A. 7. 4. PPTP If you have a PPTP connection, you must enter some additional information in the preceding section: the IP address of the ISP server that provides you this kind of connection. You can also obtain this information directly from our ISP. 53 AConfigureLaFonera A. ConfigureLaFonera A. 8. Advancedconfiguration A. 8. 1. Network settings In this section you'll have access to your network's advanced settings. You don't need to change the values you see in this pages, as this would have very little repercussion on your normal performance. This time, the IP Address and Netmask fields are those La Fonera uses inside the private network: this is the IP addresses you need to connect to when accessing La Fonera's Management Console. If you've read the entire manual, you'll probably remember the DHCP term. DHCP takes care of automatically configuring the devices you wish to use to connect to your private network. You have two options in this field: Enabled, which will virtually automate the entire process, and Disabled, which will deactivate the automatic configuration of your equipment to the Internet connection (if you're using this protocol). In this case you must manually configure your private network's devices. As you can see in the figure, you have three more options to choose from in the Firewall settings section. Let's see their characteristics. 54 AConfigureLaFonera A. ConfigureLaFonera ·Public WiFiPrivate WiFi: Disabled by default. If you enable this option, you'll grant the public WiFi users access to the private one: in other words, the Foneros will be able to connect to the WiFi PCs connected to your private network. This may interest you if you want to allow Foneros access to certain contents that you may have in your private network.
