14.2.3.2 Enabling Ethernet WAN Uplink—Disabling Private LAN
If you selected Ethernet WAN Uplink in the VersaPort screen, this will disable the Router’s DSL transceiver and
the DSL port. This configuration allows the port labeled UPLINK/E1 on the rear of the Router to become the WAN
interface port. Then, you can use UPLINK/E1 to uplink to another ADSL device, through which you can connect to
the Internet.
• When Private LAN is selected, the DSL port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is the WAN interface
to the Internet.
• When Ethernet WAN Uplink is selected, the UPLINK/E1 port on the rear of the Router is enabled and is
the WAN uplink to another ADSL device through which you will make your Internet connection.
Remember, you must click Apply to allow the settings to take effect in the Router.
NOTE:
1. When using the optional UPLINK/E1 port, Ethernet LAN connection is limited to E2, E3, and E4.
The UPLINK feature is optional and, if it is disabled, the Router will use DSL only as the WAN interface.
2. All of the Router’s menu options are displayed when the Router is configured for LAN Ethernet port. However,
some menu options are unavailable when the Router is configured for WAN Uplink port. The sections explained
throughout this document will indicate when a menu item is unavailable.
3. The Router’s factory default setting is Private LAN.
4. If UPLINK is not enabled in the .ini file, the Router will use DSL only.
If you selected Ethernet WAN Uplink, the following screen will be displayed. Proceed to the next section for
instructions on editing the Ethernet WAN Uplink settings.
