ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Reference Manual • Port Speed - In most cases, your router can automatically determine the connection speed of the Internet (WAN) port. If you cannot establish an Internet connection and the Internet LED blinks continuously, you may have to manually select the port speed. AutoSense is the default. If you know that the Ethernet port on your broadband modem supports 100BaseT, select 100M; otherwise, select 10M. Use the half-duplex settings unless you are sure you need full duplex. • Router's MAC Address - Each computer or router on your network has a unique 32-bit local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address. The default is Use default address. However, if your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either - Use this Computer's MAC address to have the router use the MAC address of the computer you are now using, or - Use This MAC Address to manually type in the MAC address that your ISP expects. The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (numbers 0-9 and either uppercase or lowercase letters A-F). If you select Use This MAC Address and then type in a MAC address, your entry will be overwritten. 2-18 Connecting the FVX538 to the Internet v1.0, March 2009
