Use Static IP Address
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your
ISP assigned for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP router to
which your modem router connects.
Use IP over ATM (IPoA)
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your
ISP assigned for IPoA service. The gateway is the ISP router to which your
modem router connects.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
Get Dynamically from ISP
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically
assigns this address.
Use These DNS Servers
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses
to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP
address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC
address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept
traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your
computer’s MAC address (also called cloning).
Use Default Address
Use the default MAC address.
Use Computer MAC Address
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer
that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is allowed by
the ISP.
Use This MAC Address
Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is
enabled by default because it is needed in most situations. Select the NAT setting:
•
Enable
. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting.
•
Disable
. NAT is disabled.
