When no login is required, this field displays:

Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address used by the modem router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also called cloning).

Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.

Use Computer MAC Address. The modem router will capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP.

Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

ADSL Settings

DSL settings of your modem router work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs use a multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI).

1. Select Setup > ADSL Settings to display the following screen:

2.In the Multiplexing Method drop-down list, select LLC-basedor VC-based.

3.For the VPI, type a number between 0 and 255. The default is 8 for the U.S. version, 0 for the world wide version, and 1 for the German version.

4.For the VCI, type a number between 32 and 65535. The default is 35 for the U.S. version, 38 for the worldwide version, and 32 for the German version.
