==WAN==
The <b>WAN</b> section displays information about the Main and Backup WAN connections. The figure below is an example of the Mobile page:
[[File:{{{file_wan}}}]]

<td>Type</td>
<td>[[{{{name}}}_Mobile#Mobile_Configuration|Connection type]] or [[{{{name}}}_WAN#Common_Configuration|protocol]]. The value displayed in this field is dependent on used WAN type. Possible values are:
<ul>
<li><b>Mobile WAN</b>

<li><b>QMI</b> - Qualcomm MSM Interface, a proprietary protocol used between Qualcomm cellular processors and their software stacks</li>

<li><b>DHCP</b> - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; the WAN network interface controller acts as a DHCP client, meaning that it receives a dynamically assigned IP address and other network configuration parameters</li>
<li><b>Static</b> - WAN network interface controller configuration parameters are set manually (used when the WAN gateway is not a DHCP server)</li>
