3.4.1.3. Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection
Fig. 29. TCP/IP settings for
Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection
mode.
If the WIASA was set to be in
Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection
mode, two IP
addresses are needed—one for the Ethernet/wireless LAN interfaces and the other for the WAN in-
terface. The IEEE 802.11b interface and the Ethernet LAN interface share the LAN IP address. The
LAN IP address must be set manually to a
private IP address
, say
192.168.0.xxx
. The default LAN IP
address is
192.168.0.1
and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
. In most cases, these default set-
tings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained automatically by DHCP from the ISP. If you are using Tel-
stra BigPond cable-based Internet service, select the
Connect with BigPond Cable
check box and
specify the
User name
,
Password
, and the IP address of your
Login server
, which is provided by the
ISP.
Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface
enables you to change the MAC address of the Ethernet
WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or cable modem works only with the
ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer, the WAN interface of the WIASA can mimic the
ISP-provided Ethernet card by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card’s MAC address.
