Figure 17 Wizard Step 3: WAN IP and DNS Server Addresses Chapter 3 Connection Wizard The following table describes the labels in this screen Table 11 Wizard Step 3: WAN IP and DNS Server Addresses LABEL DESCRIPTION WAN IP Address Assignment My WAN IP Address Enter your WAN IP address in this field. The WAN IP address should be in the same subnet as your DSL/Cable modem or router. My WAN IP Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask in this field. Gateway IP Address Enter the gateway IP address in this field. System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable) DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG-418N uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server. First DNS Server Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided. Second DNS Server If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring DDNS and the time server. Back Next Exit Click Back to return to the previous screen. Click Next to continue. Click Exit to close the wizard screen without saving. 3.4.9 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. This screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the NBG-418N's MAC address, copying the MAC address of the computer from which you are configuring the NBG418N or manually entering a MAC address. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to configuration file. It is advisable to clone the MAC address from a computer on your LAN even if your ISP does not presently require MAC address authentication. NBG-418N User's Guide 31
