server for the machines on your LAN, it will pass the addresses to those
machines as part of the automatic configuration process. (If the Wireless
Gateway will not act as a DHCP server, you might need to set the DNS server
addresses on each of the machines individually.)
WAN Port MAC
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally unique identifier for an
Ethernet interface. In cases where the Wireless Gateway is a replacement for a
computer or router with an existing broadband connection to an ISP, you
might need to make the Wireless Gateway use the same MAC address as the
device it replaces.
The original device should have a label with the device's MAC address printed
on it. A MAC address is ordinarily written as twelve hexadecimal digits, with
or without separating spaces — for example, 0080C82F8086, 0080C8 2F8086,
or 00 80 C8 2F 80 86 (these are all different ways of writing the same address).
Only the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F can appear in a
hexadecimal MAC address. Letters can be in upper or lower case;
0080c82f8086 is the same as 0080C82F8086.
Only if it is necessary to do so, click the Use New MAC Address button, and
then click in the box provided and carefully type the original device's MAC
address.
Save/Cancel
After making sure all settings in the Broadband Router panel are correct, click
Save to store the settings in the Wireless Gateway's non-volatile memory. You
can, alternatively, click Cancel (or simply exit the panel) to restore all settings
in the panel to the values last saved to or retrieved from the Wireless Gateway.
Note: If you have changed the IP address in the Wireless
Gateway's Local LAN settings, be sure, after you click Save, to
point your browser to the Wireless Gateway's new IP address
before going on.
This completes the basic setup of the Wireless Gateway as a router. You are now
ready to carry out the basic setup of the Wireless Gateway's other important functions.
