Note: The WAN Settings form is not applicable to MCD for Industry Standard Servers (ISS).
The WAN Settings form is used to enable the WAN interface and provide internet connectivity settings for Static IP, DHCP, or PPPoE. Alternatively, this interface can be programmed to support the optional Application Processor Card (APC-CX(i), APC-CX(i) II, APC-MXe).
The form also provides WAN status information when a link to the internet is established.
Use this form when performing the following tasks:

WAN Access |
Select "Disabled" to disable the WAN Ethernet interface. |
Enabled |
WAN IP Address Method |
Select the method of obtaining an IP address. Options include DHCP, PPPoE, Static, and APC. If APC is selected, a private VLAN is established between the 3300 MIPS processor and the APC card to bridge the WAN port to the APC. The APC (Mitel Standard Linux) will function as the Internet Gateway to the WAN. All WAN traffic is directed from the MIPS card over the private VLAN to the APC card. Program the Internet connectivity settings (static IP, PPPoE, or DHCP client) through the Mitel Standard Linux administration interface. See Application Processor Card for configuration instructions. For additional configuration details, see the Mitel Standard Linux (MSL) Installation and Maintenance guide available at http://edocs.mitel.com.
