Additional settings for Dynamic IP Address connections:
Dynamic IP
Parameters
Description
Connection Type
This specifies the connection type and encapsulation method used for
your Dynamic IP Address connection. The options available are
Bridged IP
LLC
or
Bridged IP VC-Mux
.
Cloned MAC Address
This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in
the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC
Address field and click the
Clone MAC Address
button. This will copy the
information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server
used for DHCP. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your
computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. If you
want to later replace the cloned MAC address with the factory default
setting, type in all zeros - 0:0:0:0:0:0 - and click the
Clone MAC
Address
button.
Cloned MAC Address
To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in
the MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and then click this
Clone MAC Address
button.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user
may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless
traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is
highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may
affect network traffic for better or worse.
NAT
Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-
down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single
computer to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is
enabled and disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7)
if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.
Firewall
Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features
available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to
configure settings in the
Firewall Configuration
window or
Filters
windows in the
Advanced
directory.
