Step 1 - Gathering Information
Depending on the type of broadband internet service you are subscribed to,
different types of information may be needed to complete the setup. Acquiring
this information in advance will make the setup of your AirStation router simple
and quick. A quick call to your service provider’s customer or technical support
number will provide you with the needed information if you are unsure. If you are
connecting to the internet via DSL service, then PPPoE information will most likely
be required from your ISP.
Recording the AirStation’s LAN MAC Address
The LAN MAC address of the AirStation is the default ESS-ID (SSID) and is
found on the back of the AirStation body as shown in the illustration above.
Record this MAC address, as it is needed in future steps.
MAC Addresses are 12-digit codes comprised of numbers and letters. When
inputting MAC Addresses for custom configurations, a semi-colon (:) is used to
separate every two digits. ex: 00:07:40:00:00:00
The LAN or Wired MAC address is the
default ESS-ID (SSID) of the AirStation. The
LAN MAC address is clearly labeled on the
back of the AirStation.
