3-10 Wizard Setup
The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when
1.
you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields
in DHCP Setup.
If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in DHCP
2.
Setup set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses.
3.4.4 WAN MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
You can configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the
MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the address will
be copied to the "rom" file (configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or
upload a different "rom" file.
Nortel Networks recommends you clone the MAC address from a computer on your
LAN even if your ISP does not require MAC address authentication.
Your Contivity 221's WAN Port is set at half-duplex mode as most cable/DSL modems only
support half-duplex mode. Make sure your modem is in half-duplex mode. Your Contivity 221
supports full duplex mode on the LAN side.
