4.2.3.5 WAN Access Type – Static IP

Choose Static IP Address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will
need to enter the IP address, IP Netmask and IP gateway as provided. Each entered fields
must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The
Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. Fill in the DNS information
provided by your ISP; otherwise, Domain Name can’t be used.

In particular, here provides 3G or 3.5G transmission rate when the 3.5G adapter is plugged,
just check to apply for the backup. In other words, once Static IP connection is disconnected,
the system automatically connects Internet via 3.5G adapter. If 3.5G signal is not available, it
starts to search downward for 3/2.75/2.5G signals until none existed. The default interval
between the two connection detection is 3 minutes. The interval range is from 1 to 60
minutes.

The 3.5G feature is working as mutual backup for other 3 WAN Types, and the required
information is listed as follows, such as user name, password and SIM PIN etc. That is,
setting up the interval time to auto detect whether the Internet connection is lost or not. If yes,
the system immediately switches to 3.5G Internet connection and will disconnect
automatically when the original Static IP connection recovers.

Cable modem services.

Apply 3G or 3.5G transmission rate for the backup. Once Dynamic IP connection is
disconnected, the system automatically connects Internet via 3.5G adapter. If 3.5G signal is
not available, it starts to search downward for 3/2.75/2.5G signals until none existed.

This option is typically used for DSL services. Choose PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet) if your ISP uses PPPoE connection. YourISP will provide you with a username and
password.

Apply 3G or 3.5G transmission rate for the backup. In other words, once PPPoE connection
is disconnected, the system automatically connects Internet via 3.5G adapter. If 3.5G signal
is not available, it starts to search downward for 3/2.75/2.5G signals until none existed.
