DESCRIPTION
#
This is the index number of the host computer.
Status
This field displays whether the connection to the host computer is up (a yellow bulb) or
down (a gray bulb).
Host Name
This field displays the computer host name.
IP Address
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
MAC Address
This field shows the MAC address of the computer with the name in the
Host Name

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address which uniquely
identifies a device. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of
hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Reserve
Select this if you want to reserve the IP address for this specific MAC address.

WAN
10.1
Overview
This chapter discusses the NBG6716’s
WAN
screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG6716
for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the
Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other
networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.

What You Can Do
•
Use the
Internet Connection
screen to enter your ISP information and set how the computer
acquires its IP, DNS and WAN MAC addresses (
Section 10.4 on page 76
).
•
Use the
Advanced
screen to enable multicasting, configure Windows networking and bridge
(
Section 10.5 on page 80
).
10.3
What You Need To Know
The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well
as enable/disable some advanced features of your NBG6716.

10.3.1
Configuring Your Internet Connection
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set
up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your
ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP
over Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username
and password (and service name) for user authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the NBG6716, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the NBG6716 to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be
static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the NBG6716 tries to access the
Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and
DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP
encapsulation method).
DNS Server Address Assignment
Use Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely
important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access
it.
The NBG6716 can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1
The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you
sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
2
If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the NBG6716’s WAN IP
address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
WAN MAC Address
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the
factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Choose
Factory Default
to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise,
click
Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address
and enter the IP address of
the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the
address will be copied to configuration file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior
to hooking up the WAN Port.
