IP Address 

Assignment

If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address, press [SPACE BAR] and then 

[ENTER] to select Dynamic, otherwise select Static and enter the IP address and 

subnet mask in the following fields.

Rem IP 

Address

Enter the (fixed) IP address assigned to you by your ISP (static IP address assignment 

is selected in the previous field).

Rem Subnet 

Mask

Enter the subnet mask associated with your static IP.

My WAN 

Addr

Leave the field set to 0.0.0.0 to have the ISP or other remote router dynamically 

(automatically) assign your WAN IP address if you do not know it. Enter your WAN IP 

address here if you know it (static).
This is the address assigned to your local ZyWALL, not the remote router.

Network 

Address 

Translation

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol 

address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local 

network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public 

IP address used on the Internet). 
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select either None or SUA Only. 
Choose None to disable NAT.
Choose SUA Only if you have a single public IP address. SUA (Single User Account) is 

a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping: Many-to-One and Server. 
See 

for a full discussion on this feature.

Metric

Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the ZyWALL’s routes. The 

smaller the number, the higher priority the route has.
