Find out the verification method used by your ISP.

 

If the ISP checks the LAN MAC address, inform the ISP of the ZyAIR ‘s WAN MAC

 

address. To view the WAN MAC address in SMT menu 24.1.

 

In case the ISP does not allow you to use a new MAC, you can clone the MAC from

 

the LAN as the WAN MAC and send it to the ISP using SMT menu 2. It is

 

recommended that you configure this menu even if your ISP presently does not

 

require MAC address authentication.

 

If the ISP checks the Host Name, enter host name in the System Name field in the

 

SMT menu 1 when you connect the ZyAIR to a cable/xDSL modem.

 

If the ISP checks the User ID, make sure that you have entered the correct Service

 

Type, user name (in the My Login field) and password (in the My Password field)

 

in SMT menu 4.
