Network Management
Use the Network menu to make network configuration settings as well as service
support settings.
WAN Configuration
From the Network menu, choose WAN, and
the WAN Configuration screen appears.
This screen displays the network parameters
of the WAN connection. You may change any
of these items and press Apply to confirm
your settings. See a description of each item
in the following table:
WAN Configuration
Item Description
Host name
Host name that identifies the M3800 on the network.
Domain name Specifies the domain name of the M3800.
MAC Address MAC address of the network interface.
Jumbo Frame Support Enable or disable Jumbo Frame Support of the WAN interface on
your M3800.
WAN Port Enable or disable the M3800 from obtaining in IP address via
DHCP server. If you require a static IP, disable this feature and
input your network configuration.
IP IP address of the WAN interface.
Netmask Network mask, which is generally: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Default Gateway IP address.
DNS Server Domain Name Service (DNS) server IP address.
IP Sharing Mode When enabled, PCs connected to the LAN port will be able to
access the WAN. Default is Enabled.
• A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP.
• Enabling DHCP automatically turns on UPnP—see the Service Support Screen.
• If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP Sharing
Mode. This will result in higher throughput.
• Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where
all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled.
NOTE
Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and
you will not be able to connect to your M3800 after Jumbo Frame is turned on. If
this happens, turn off the M3800. Then, power on the M3800 and immediately
press and hold the Reset button on the back of the unit for 5 seconds. This will
reset your network settings, password, and turn off Jumbo Frame Support.
