14.5 Single Static IP
The following screen will appear if you select Advanced > Single Static IP from the main menu. This screen
contains the settings that allow the PPP address received from the network to be propagated to a single LAN device
behind the Gateway.
Single Static IP (SSI) allows you to select one device on your LAN that will share the WAN assigned IP address. By
doing this, the device with the SSI becomes visible on the Internet. Network Address Translation (NAT) and
Firewall rules do not apply to the device configured for SSI. If you are using Bridge (Routed Bridge) protocol,
Single Static IP configuration will not be available.
IMPORTANT:
1. Before you begin this section, configure your PC settings to obtain an IP address from your Gateway
automatically. If needed, refer to your computer’s Windows help screen for instructions.
2. If you have previously enabled Public LAN, you will need to disable Public LAN and enable the DHCP for
Private LAN and the Private LAN settings before you configure Single Static IP.
3. Static NAT and Single Static IP are mutually exclusive features. Static NAT should be disabled (if it has
previously been enabled) before you enable Single Static IP. To disable Static NAT, select Services from the
Configuration menu. Next, click the static NAT button. Select the device from the Static NAT Device drop-
down menu and click disable. You can now configure Single Static IP.
4. If your Gateway’s Ethernet VersaPort is configured for “WAN Uplink Port” instead of “LAN Ethernet Port,”
this feature will not be available. Refer to section 14.4.3, “VersaPort.”
WAN IP Address Displays the PPP IP address that the ISP has assigned the Gateway.
