Port Settings
Port Speed
Normally, this can be left at "Automatic". If the device attached to
the WAN Port has problems making a connection, you can select the
setting required or preferred by the other device.
MTU Size
•
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be
changed if advised to do so by Technical Support.
•
Enter a value between 1 and 1500.
•
This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to set
the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or
entered here) will be used.
•
For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is
always 1500.
Identification
Hostname
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your
ISP requests that you use a particular Hostname, enter it here.
Domain Name
If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this
may be left blank.
WAN Port MAC
Address
Also called
Network Adapter Address
or
Physical Address
. This is a
low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.
Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a
particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the
Copy from PC
button to copy your PC's address into
this field, the
Default
button to insert the default value, or enter a
value directly.
