BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration — Basics
Configuring WAN IP
To change the WAN IP settings of your BCM50a Integrated Router, click WAN ,
then the WAN IP tab.
This screen varies according to the type of encapsulation
you select.
If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address, click Get automatically from
ISP (Default); otherwise click Use fixed IP Address and enter the IP address in
the field My WAN IP Address.
Max Idle Timeout Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field when you
select Connect on Demand. The default setting is 0, which means
the Internet session does not timeout.
PPPoE Pass
Through
(PPPoE
encapsulation
only)
This field is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation.
In addition to the BCM50a Integrated Router built-in PPPoE client,
you can enable PPPoE pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the
LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to
the ISP using the BCM50a Integrated Router. Each host can have a
separate account and a public WAN IP address.
PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for applications where
NAT is not appropriate.
Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the
LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to
the ISP.

(ENET ENCAP
encapsulation
only)
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.

encapsulation
only)
You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when
you select ENET ENCAP in the Encapsulation field.
