DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
Additional settings for Dynamic IP Address connections:
Dynamic IP Parameters | Description |
|
|
Connection Type | This specifies the connection type and encapsulation method used for your |
| Dynamic IP Address connection. The options available are Bridged IP LLC |
| or Bridged IP |
Cloned MAC Address | This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in |
| the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC |
| Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the |
| information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used |
| for DHCP. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s |
| Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. If you want to later |
| replace the cloned MAC address with the factory default setting, type in all |
| zeros - 0:0:0:0:0:0 - and click the Clone MAC Address button. |
Cloned MAC Address | To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the |
| MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and then click this Clone |
| MAC Address button. |
MTU | The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to |
| optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The |
| default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user |
| may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or |
| when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly |
| recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect |
| network traffic for better or worse. |
NAT | Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull- |
| down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer |
| to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and |
| disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router |
| is set up for multiple virtual connections. |
Firewall | Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features |
| available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure |
| settings in the Firewall Configuration window or Filters windows in the |
| Advanced directory. |
