4. Configure dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified 

domain names during this phase (if required). See 

5. Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to 

respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed. However, 
these are advanced features and changing them is not usually required. See

Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter.

To set up your UTM for secure Internet connections, you configure WAN ports 1 and 2. The Web 
Configuration Manager offers two connection configuration options:

•

Automatic detection and configuration of the network connection. 

•

Manual configuration of the network connection. 

Each option is detailed in the sections following.

To automatically configure the WAN ports for connection to the Internet:

1. Select Network Config > WAN Settings from the menu. On dual-WAN port models, the 

WAN Settings tabs appear, with the WAN1 ISP Settings screen in view (see

Note: For information about how to configure the WAN meters, see

Note: The initial Internet configuration of the UTM is described in

Wizard to configure your Internet settings, you need this section only if you want 
to make changes to your Internet connections.
