2. In the MAC address box, type the MAC address of the adapter
installed in the computer that is connected to your base station.
The MAC address appears on the label on the underside of your
adapter.
3. Click Clone MAC address.
It is a good idea to record the MAC address of the adapter that you
clone, so that if you lose your settings or no longer have the
adapter, you do not lose your ability to connect to the Internet.
Static Internet Connection
If your ISP account provides a static (fixed) IP address, you should
configure the WAN settings on your base station for a static
Internet connection.
To establish a static Internet connection
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Wide
Area Network.
2. Under Internet Connection Type, click Static.
3. Under Static Connection, type the information provided by your
ISP, including the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP
address, and DNS addresses (if provided).
4. To save the WAN settings, click Apply.
PPPoE Internet Connection
If your ISP uses a PPPoE connection, you should configure the WAN
settings on your base station for a PPPoE connection.
A PPPoE Internet connection functions like a dial-up connection in
that your user name and password are passed to the ISP for
authentication to establish an Internet connection. This interaction
happens automatically when the base station is turned on.
Unlike a dial-up connection, a PPPoE Internet connection is
persistent unless any of the following occurs: you disable the
connection; the base station is turned off or loses power; or you
specify a maximum idle time, and this time elapses.
To establish a PPPoE Internet connection
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Wide
Area Network.
2. Under Internet Connection Type, click PPPoE.
3. Under Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), type your
user name and password.
4. Type a service name if your ISP supplied it.
