Main Port—EWAN
Besides using ADSL to get connected to the Internet, BEC 7300N offers its Ethernet port 1
as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL and fibre optic lines. This
alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users with more flexibility
to get online
Obtain an IP Address Automatically (EWAN)
When connecting to the ISP, BEC 7300N also functions as a DHCP client. BEC 7300N can
automatically obtain an IP address, netmask, gateway address, and DNS server addresses
if the ISP assigns this information via DHCP.
Line Speed: Set the downstream and upstream of your connection in kilobytes per
second. The connection speed is used by QoS settings.
NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the
Internet through a single ISP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN
have public IP addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be
disabled.
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this check box to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS
servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the netmask.
MAC Spoofing: Select Enable and enter a MAC address that will temporarily change
your router's MAC address to the one you have specified in this field. Leave it as Disabled if
you do not wish to change the MAC address of your router.
