Static Connection Setup

Most Internet users are provided with a dynamic IP address by their ISP for each session, however

certain situations call for a Static IP address. This is typically when you want to host a website, or

use VoIP or video-conferencing applications where other users must regularly connect to your

computer. Static IP numbers are generally made available by ISPs for these purposes for an

additional fee. The following instructions will allow you to set up your NB5 to manage a Static IP

connection.

Select WAN Setup>New Connection. From Type: Select Static.

Enter the Static connection name: the name must be unique, must not contain spaces and must not

begin with a number [e.g. static_1]

NAT Option: Network Address Translation is on by default [recommended].

Firewall [SPI]: Firewall is on by default [recommended].

Allow Incoming Ping: Unchecked by default [recommended]. Check only if this function is required

for testing purposes.
