•
Modem (FR3004LC and FR3004C): Information on your dial-up serial mo-
dem connection. If it is not set as the WAN type, then the status will be Not
Ready
6.2 Renew/Release IP Address
If the router is connected to the WAN
through a dynamic (not static) IP ad-
dress, then two additional buttons will
be shown on the Status screen:
•
Renew: Refresh the router’s WAN
IP address information (IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, domain
name servers). Normally you
should release this information be-
fore trying to renew it
•
Release: Drop the router’s WAN IP address information (IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, domain name servers)
Tip: During troubleshooting, it may be convenient to Release and Renew IP ad-
dress settings without turning the router’s power off and on.
6.3 Copy from Client
Although the router is shipped with an
Ethernet address, this button gives you
the option of copying the Ethernet (or
MAC) address from a client computer to
the router. Refer to the Media One por-
tion of section 5.2 for more information
on how to copy the MAC address.
Note: To return the MAC address to the original MAC address shipped with the
unit, return the unit to the factory default settings. Please refer to Chapter 8 for
more information on returning the router to factory defaults.
6.4 Peripheral Status
Along with the status of both the COM port and Printer port, the router allows
you to view information such as the Log and DHCP Server information.
