Internet Setup Screen Fields
The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Internet Setup screen. The

connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. A value of 0 (zero)

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 have to use the one computer that the ISP
allows.
