Fig. 57. TCP/IP settings for Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode.
If the IWE3200-H was set to be in Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode, two
IP addresses are needed—one for the Ethernet LAN interface and the other for the WAN interface.
The LAN IP address must be set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.0.xxx. The default
LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most cases, these de-
fault settings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained by DHCP from the ISP. The Trigger mode setting affects
the behavior of the DHCP client of the Router. In Auto mode, you don’t have to worry about the
DHCP process; the device takes care of everything. In Manual mode, there are two buttons on the
Start page for you to manually release an obtained IP address (Release) and re-obtain a new one from
a DHCP server (Renew).
‘Heartbeat for BigPond Cable’ is the settings for service of Telstra, Australia. Please consult the Tel-
stra ISP for detail information.
Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface enables you to change the MAC address of the Ethernet
WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or cable modem works only with the
ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer, the WAN interface of the Router can mimic the
ISP-provided Ethernet card by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card’s MAC address.

Fig. 58. TCP/IP settings for Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection mode.
If the Router was set to be in Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection mode, two IP ad-
dresses are needed—one for the Ethernet LAN interface and the other for the WAN interface. The
LAN IP address must be set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.0.xxx. The default LAN IP
address is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most cases, these default set-
tings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it must be manually set. Consult your ISP for the correct IP address,
Default Router, Subnet mask, Primary DNS server, and Secondary DNS server settings.
Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface enables you to change the MAC address of the Ethernet
WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or cable modem works only with the
ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer, the WAN interface of the Router can mimic the
ISP-provided Ethernet card by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card’s MAC address.
