ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
Connecting the VPN Firewall to the Internet 2-5
v1.1, August 2010
When Auto Detect successfully detects an active Internet service, it reports which connection
type it discovered. The options are described in Table 2-1.
If Auto Detect does not find a connection, you will be prompted to check the physical
connection between your VPN firewall and the cable or DSL line or to check your VPN
firewall’s MAC address (see “Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection” on page 2-6).
3. Click the Broadband Status option arrow at the top right of the screen to verify the WAN port
connection status. Click Connect if there is no connection.
Note: When you click Auto Detect while the WAN port already has a connection,
you might lose the connection because the VPN firewall will enter its
detection mode.
