Static Connection Setup
A static connection is used whenever a known static IP is assigned. The
accompanying information such as the subnet mask and the default gateway
should also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can
also be specified. These servers give you access to other web servers. The valid
range of IP addresses is 1.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254.
To configure the router for a Static connection:
Procedure
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default Static
connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field, select Static. The Static Connection Setup page is displayed.
3. Give your Static connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces
and cannot begin with numbers.

specify a VLAN ID and priority.

and NAT services must be enabled. See Firewall/NAT Services on page 3-21.
