Set the UTM's MAC Address

Each computer or router on your network has a unique 48-bit local Ethernet address. This is
also referred to as the computer's Media Access Control (MAC) address. The default is set to
Use Default Address on the WAN Advanced Options screens. If your ISP requires MAC
authentication and another MAC address has been previously registered with your ISP, then
you need to enter that address on the WAN Advanced Options screen for the DSL interface
(see Configure Advanced WAN Options
Manually Configure the Internet Connection
Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration through DHCP, you need to obtain
configuration parameters from your ISP to manually establish an Internet connection over the
DSL interface. The necessary parameters for various connection types are listed in
