Wide area network (WAN)

View address information for an Ethernet WAN connection.

Wide area network (WAN) displays address information for a configured Ethernet WAN connection.

An Ethernet WAN connection uses port 4 on the Hera 604 to reach an external network. Depending on the mode selected in the Network Connection wizard, it can be the router's only connection, a backup for the mobile connection, or the connection that the mobile network backs up.

The page displays:

Field	Example or possible values	Description
Address assignment	STATIC or DHCP	Determines how the Hera 604 obtains its Ethernet WAN address. STATIC means the address is configured manually. DHCP means the upstream network assigns it automatically.
WAN IP address	--- or an IP address	Address assigned to the router's Ethernet WAN interface. --- means an address is not currently assigned.
Net mask	--- or a net mask	Identifies the network associated with the WAN address. --- means a net mask is not currently assigned.

Values appear on this page only when an Ethernet interface is configured to connect to an external network. If the router connects over the mobile network only, see Mobile network.

Set up an Ethernet WAN connection using the Network Connection wizard. Once configured, adjust it on WAN IP address.
