Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 v3
Advanced Configuration 7-7
v3.0, December 2005
Configuring WAN Setup Options
The WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the
wireless router to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below.
• Connect Automatically, as Required.
Normally, this option should be enabled. An Internet connection will be made automatically
after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. This provides connection on
demand and is potentially cost-saving.
If disabled, you must connect manually, using the Connection Status button on the Router
Status screen. This manual connection will stay up all the time without timeouts.
• Disable SPI Firewall.
Normally, this option should be Enabled, so that your local network will be protected by the
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall included in the WGT624 v3. However, certain
communications functions like VPN may require turning off the SPI feature.
• Setting Up a Default DMZ Server.

Note: When SPI Firewall is disabled, you must use the Passive mode in the computer
FTP client to connect to the FTP server.
