2.1 Cable Modem
Choose Cable Modem if your ISP will automatically give you an IP address. Some ISP may also
require you to fill in additional information such as Host Name and MAC address (see screen
below).
?Note:
The Host Name and MAC address section is optional and you can skip it
if your
ISP does not require these settings for you to connect to the Internet.
Parameters Description
Host Name If your ISP requires a Host Name, type in the host name
provided by your ISP, otherwise leave it blank.
MAC Address Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for you
to connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC’s MAC
address that your ISP had originally connected your Internet
connection to. Type in this MAC address in this section or use
the “Clone MAC Address” button to replace the WAN MAC
address with the MAC address of that PC (you have to be using
that PC for the Clone MAC Address button to work). To find out
the PC’s MAC address see Appendix A. (see Glossary for an
explanation on MAC address)
Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have
completed the configuration for the Cable Modem connection. You can start using the router now,
if you wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 3, 4, 5.
