3.5 WAN Port Settings

Advanced > Advanced Network > Option Port Setup
The physical port settings for each WAN link can be defin ed here. If your ISP account
defines the WAN port speed or is associated with a MAC address, this information is
required by the controller to ensure a smooth connection with the network.
The default MTU size supported by all ports is 1500. This is the la rgest packet size
that can pass through the interface without fragmentation. This size can be increased,
however large packets can introduce network lag and bring down the interface speed.
Note that a 1500 byte size packet is the largest allowed by the Eth ernet protocol at the
network layer.
The port speed can be sensed by the controller when Auto is selected. With this
option the optimal port settings are determined by the controller and network. The
duplex (half or full) can be defined based on the port support, as well as one of three
port speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps (i.e. 1 Gbps). The default setting is
100 Mbps for all ports.
The default MAC address is defined during the manufacturing process for the
interfaces, and can uniquely identify this controller. You can customize each WAN
port's MAC address as needed, either by letting the WAN port assume the current
LAN host's MAC address or by entering a MAC address manually.
