Identification
Hostname
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your
ISP requests that you use a particular “Hostname”, enter it here.
Domain name
If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this
may be left blank.
MAC Address
Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a
low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.
Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a
particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into
this field, the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a
value directly.
IP Address
IP Address
is assigned auto-
matically
Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most
common.
Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the
TW100-BRV204 upon connection.
