The codec has multiple IP interface connection options, including:
1.LAN1 Ethernet port (default Primary Via interface in the Dialer 
)
2.LAN2 Ethernet port (default Secondary Via interface in the Dialer )
3.Internal Wi-Fi (default Tertiary Via interface in the Dialer )
4.External USB PORT 1.
5.External USB PORT 2.
Use the Select Via interfaces screen in the Dialer to select the interface used when establishing a connection. By default Any is selected, which means the first available interface will be used to dial a connection. To connect over a LAN, attach an Ethernet cable to either LAN1 or LAN2 on the codec.
