WR3000 4-Port Wireless DSL/Cable Router

3.5.2IP Address and Subnet Mask-Continued

The subnet mask specifi es the network number portion of an IP address. Your WR3000 Wireless Router will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don’t need to change the subnet mask computed by the WR3000 Wireless Router unless you are instructed to do otherwise.

3.5.3DNS Server Address Assignment

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. For instance, the IP address of a web site with an URL of www.anycompany.com could be 192.168.3.1. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.

There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.

1.The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fi elds in DHCP Setup.

2.Leave the DNS Server fi elds in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The WR3000 Access Point acts as a DNS proxy when this fi eld is blank.

3.5.4 WAN MAC Address

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0: C5:00:00:02.

You can confi gure the WAN port’s MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a workstation on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the “rom” fi le (ZyNOS confi guration fi le). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different “rom” fi le.

ParkerVision recommends you clone the MAC address from a workstation on your LAN even if your ISP does not require MAC address authentication.

Your WR3000 Wireless Router WAN port is always set at half-duplex mode as most cable/DSL modems only support half-duplex mode. Make sure your modem is in half-duplex mode. Your WR3000 Wireless Router supports full duplex mode on the LAN side.

Example of Network Properties for LAN Servers with Fixed IP Addresses:

Choose an IP address

192.168.1.2-192.168.150.32; 192.168.1.65-192.168.1.254.

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0

Gateway (or default route)

192.168.150.1 (WR3000 Wireless Router LAN IP)
