PePLink Balance Series v4.0 User Manual
Network Settings for PPPoE
This setting specifies the data bandwidth in the inbound direction from
the WAN interface to the LAN.
The value of this setting is used as the default weight control value for
outbound load balance.
Physical Interface Settings
This setting specifies port speed and duplex configurations.
By default, Speed is set to Auto.
This setting specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit.
By default, MTU is set to 1440.
This setting should be configured based on the maximum payload size
that the local system can handle. The MSS (Maximum Segment Size)
is computed from the MTU minus 40 bytes for TCP over IPv4.
By default, MSS is set to Auto.
This setting allows configuring a user-specified MAC address.
Some service providers (e.g. cable providers) identify the clients’ MAC
addresses and require a client to always connect using the same MAC
address. In such cases, use the MAC Address setting to change the
PePLink Balance WAN interface MAC address to be the same as that of
the original client PC.
The default MAC Address is a unique value assigned at the factory. In
most cases, the default value suffices. Clicking the Default button
restores the MAC Address to the default value.
These settings specify the information required in order to connect via
PPPoE to the ISP.

Note: Leave this field empty if you are not sure.
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This
setting specifies the DNS (Domain Name System) Servers to be used
when a DNS lookup is routed through this connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the
DNS Servers assigned by the PPPoE server to be used for outbound
DNS lookups over the WAN connection. (The DNS Servers are
obtained along with the WAN IP address assigned from the PPPoE
