b. Port Speed. In most cases, your VPN firewall can automatically determine the connection
speed of the WAN port. If you cannot establish an Internet connection and the WAN Link
or Speed LED blinks continuously, you may need to manually select the port speed.
AutoSense is the default.
If you know the Ethernet port speed that your broadband modem supports, select it;
otherwise, select 10M. Use the half-duplex settings unless you are sure your broadband
modem supports full duplex.
c. 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 of these options:
• Select the Use this computer’s MAC radio button to enable the VPN firewall to use
the MAC address of the computer you are now using, or
• Select the Use this MAC Address radio button to manually type in the MAC address
that your ISP expects.
The format for the MAC address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB (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.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Additional WAN Related Configuration
• If you want the ability to manage the VPN firewall remotely, enable remote management at
this time (see “Enabling Remote Management Access” on page 9-9). If you enable remote
management, we strongly recommend that you change your password (see “Changing
Passwords and Administrator Settings” on page 9-8).
• At this point, you can set up the traffic meter for the WAN, if desired. See “Enabling the
Traffic Meter” on page 10-5.
