• Subnet Mask – The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific
subnets.
• Default Gateway – The IP address of the gateway router for the Multimedia Router,
which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet.
• Primary DNS Server – The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server on the
network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to
identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. If you have one or
more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses in the text fields
provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
• Secondary DNS Server – The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server on
the network.
• MAC Clone Mode – Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC address
of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address of the
Multimedia Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address provided to your
ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address manually by typing it in
the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with the registered MAC address
to the Multimedia Router, then click the “Fill My MAC” (Default: Disable)
PPPoE
Enable the Multimedia Router IP address to be assigned automatically from an Internet
service provider (ISP) through an xDSL modem using Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE).
