ZyXEL Communications B-2000 User Manual

ZyAIR B-2000 Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-Port Switch 

Internet Access 

 

3-11 

A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different 
one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either a dynamic or 
static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP Address. 

Menu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen.  Menu 4 is actually a simplified 
setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in menu 11.  Before you configure your ZyAIR for 
Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone 
company. 

Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPP or 
PPPoE encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password.
