As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained by DHCP from the ISP. The Trigger
mode setting affects the behavior of the DHCP client of the Router. In Auto
mode, you don't have to worry about the DHCP process; the device takes
care of everything. In Manual mode, there are two buttons on the Start page
for you to manually release an obtained IP address (Release) and reobtain a
new one from a DHCP server (Renew).

“Big Pond Settings” is the settings for service of Telstra, Australia. Please
consult the Telstra ISP for detail information.

Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface enables you to change the MAC
address of the Ethernet WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or
cable modem works only with the ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer,
the WAN interface of the Router can mimic the ISP-provided Ethernet card
by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card's MAC address.

Fig. 59. TCP/IP Settings for Router with a Static-IP

DSL/Cable Connection Mode.

If the Router was set to be in Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection
mode, two IP addresses are needed-one for the Ethernet LAN interface and
the other for the WAN interface. The LAN IP address must be set manually
to a private IP address, say 192.168.2.xxx. The default LAN IP address is
192.168.2.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most cases,
these default settings need no change.

As for the WAN IP address, it must be manually set. Consult your ISP for the
correct IP address, Default gateway, Subnet mask, Primary DNS server, and
Secondary DNS server settings.
