Get IP with Unicast DHCP - A few ISPs’ DHCP servers do not support the broadcast applications. If you
cannot get the IP Address normally, you can choose this option. (This is rarely required.)
2. If you choose Static IP, you should have fixed IP Parameters specified by your ISP. The Static IP settings
page will appear, shown in figure 5-5:
Figure 5-5 WAN - Static IP
You should type the following parameters into the spaces provided:
• IP Address - Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
• Subnet Mask - Enter the subnet Mask in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP, usually is
255.255.255.0.
• Default Gateway - (Optional) Enter the gateway IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by
your ISP.
• MTU Size - The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500
Bytes. For some ISPs you may need to modify the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be
done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
• Primary DNS - (Optional) Enter the DNS address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
• Secondary DNS - (Optional) Type another DNS address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your
ISP if provided.
