MAC Address
MAC Address	Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a low-level network identifier, as
	seen from the WAN port.
	Normally there is no need to change this field, but if necessary, use the Copy from PC button to copy
	the computer's address into this field. This is only necessary if the computer’s MAC address has been
	recorded.
	Use the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a value directly, if desired.
	Note: To avoid problems regarding the MAC address, do NOT swap the LAN/WAN connection
	from the computer to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router, or from the APC 3-in-1
	Wireless Mobile Router to the computer.

Identification
Hostname	Normally, this field has no effect.
	If the System Administrator requires users to enter a specific hostname, do so here.

Domain Name	Normally, this field has no effect.
	If the System Administrator requires users to enter a specific domain name, do so here.

•PPTP - Used mainly in Europe. The PPTP Server address, username, and password are required.

•L2TP - Not widely used. The L2TP Server address, username, and password are required.

•No Login (Static IP address) - Used with a static (fixed) IP address. Users do not need to log in to a server to gain access to the LAN or WAN.
