Data – WAN Port Screen
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.
IP Address
Automatic
Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most
common.
Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wire-
less Router upon connection.
