DHCP Client (Dynamic IP) 

All IP configuration data besides DNS will obtain from the DHCP server 
when DHCP-Client WAN Access Type is selected.   

 

DNS1~3:

 

The IP addresses of DNS provided by your ISP. 

DNS (

Domain Name Server) is used to map domain names to IP 

addresses. DNS maintain central lists of domain name/IP 
addresses and map the domain names in your Internet requests 
to other servers on the Internet until the specified web site is 
found. 

Clone MAC 
Address:

 

Clone device MAC address to the specify MAC address required 
by your ISP 

Enable uPnP:

 

Enable uPnP, this function allows the device to be found and 
configured automatically by the system. (Ex. Window XP)

 

PPPoE 

When the PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) WAN Access 
Type is selected, you must fill the fields of User Name, Password provided 
by your ISP. The IP configuration will be done when the device 
successfully authenticates with your ISP.
