3.1 Basic Configuration
The basic configuration contains Internet Port, Local Port and the Wireless LAN configura-
tions. After you have finished setting up the basic items, the gateway will work for most
scenarios.
3.1.1 Internet Port
The Internet Port section contains information to allow your modem to connect to the Internet.
You will need to configure this section with the settings that have been assigned and provided
by your ISP.
DHCP Configuration
The DHCP is the default service for the Internet Port section. This means that you will get the
IP address from the ISP automatically. Choose this type of Protocol for Optus Cable.
Host Name/Domain Name. Some cable ISPs require the host name and domain name as
identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service
has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, you can assign your own or
leave it blank and it will work.
Use Static DNS. If you want to use your own DNS instead of the one provided by your ISP,
check this box, and type the IP address of the DNS in the field. (At least one in the primary
field.)
MAC address. Some ISPs allow you to connect to them with a specified MAC address only.
You can enter the MAC address manually or copy it from a PC which is attached to the Local
Port. Simply type in its IP address and the gateway will copy the MAC address from that PC.
The gateway comes with the factory default MAC address. You do not need to change the
default value if the ISP is not checking the MAC address of your Internet Port.
