Port Speed
This setting specifies port speed and duplex configurations of the WAN Port.
By default, Auto is selected and the appropriate data speed is automatically
detected by Pepwave MAX.
In the event of negotiation issues, the port speed can be manually specified to
circumvent the issues. You can also choose whether or not to advertise the speed
to the peer by selecting the Advertise Speed checkbox.
MTU
This setting specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit.
By default, MTU is set to Custom 1440.
You may adjust the MTU value by editing the text field. Click Default to restore the
default MTU value. Select Auto and the appropriate MTU value will be
automatically detected. The auto-detection will run each time when the WAN
connection establishes.
MSS
This setting should be configured based on the maximum payload size that the
local system can handle. The MSS (Maximum Segment Size) is computed from
the MTU minus 40 bytes for TCP over IPv4.
If MTU is set to Auto, the MSS will also be set automatically.
By default, MSS is set to Auto.
MAC Address
Clone
This setting allows you to configure the MAC address.
Some service providers (e.g. cable providers) identify the client’s MAC address
and require the client to always use the same MAC address to connect to the
network. In such cases, change the WAN interface’s MAC address to the original
client PC’s one via this field.
The default MAC Address is a unique value assigned at the factory. In most
cases, the default value is sufficient. Clicking the Default button restores the MAC
Address to the default value.
Reply to ICMP
PING
If this field is disabled, the WAN connection will not respond to ICMP PING
requests.
By default, this is enabled.
