When no login is required, this field displays:
Router MAC Address.
The Ethernet MAC address used by the modem router on the
Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic only from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s
MAC address (this is also called cloning).
• Use
Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Compu
ter MAC Address. The modem router will capture and use the MAC address
of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is
allowed by the ISP.
• Use
This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
ADSL Settings
DSL settings of your modem router work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs use a
multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual
channel identifier (VCI).
Note: You have to use the Setup Wizard to select the correct country for
the default DSL settings to work.
To manually specify the ADSL settings:
If your ISP provided you with a multiplexing method or VPI/VCI number, enter the setting:
1. Select Setup > ADSL
Settings to display the following screen:
2. In the Multiplexing Method drop-down list, select LLC-based or VC-based.
3. Fo
r the VPI, type a number between 0 and 255. The default is 8 for the U.S. version, 0 for
the world wide version, and 1 for the German version.
4. Fo
r the VCI, type a number between 32 and 65535. The default is 35 for the U.S. version,
38 for the worldwide version, and 32 for the German version.
5. Click Apply.
