Because the Alcatel 1000 ADSL modem supports multihoming (one interface supporting multiple IP addresses), the manually configured IP address and the automatically acquired IP address are active simultaneously.
The MAC address of the modem’s Ethernet interface is displayed under the header of the basic configuration page.
The following parameters are available on this page:

IP Address
In this field, you can change the user defined IP address of the modem to a value more suitable to your local IP address policy.
Note:
The modem comes with the default IP address of 10.0.0.138, which belongs to the class A private address range.
Netmask/Subnet Mask
This field represents the default netmask associated with the particular class of IP address you assigned to the modem. Leave this field unchanged if no subnetting is applied in your local network.
The modem automatically supplies the default netmask for the particular IP address class; for example, 255.0.0.0 for the preconfigured IP address. If you want to apply subnetting in your local network, extend the subnet mask with additional bits.
