WAN Configuration 2-3
• The WAN Ethernet Speed Setting is configurable via a pop-up menu. Options are:
• Auto-Negotiation (the default)
• 100 Mbps Full Duplex
• 100 Mbps Half Duplex
• 10 Mbps Full Duplex
• 10 Mbps Half Duplex
• 100 Mbps, Full Duplex, Fixed
• 100 Mbps, Half Duplex, Fixed
• 10 Mbps, Full Duplex, Fixed
• 10 Mbps, Half Duplex, Fixed
This may be useful in mixed networks, where multiple routers have different ethernet speed capability. If
you want to maintain a single speed setting for compatibility with multiple routers on your LAN, you can
select a speed/duplex combination that all of your routers can match.
• The Wan Ethernet MAC Address is the hardware address of the Netopia device. Some service providers
require a specific MAC address as part of their authentication process. In such a case, you can enter the
MAC address that your service provider requires. If your service provider doesn’t use this method, you
don’t need to change this field.
• The DHCP Client Mode setting depends on the type of access concentrator equipment your service
provider uses. Most use Standards-Based. Alternatively, your provider may instruct you to select Copper
Mountain Specific.
• The RIP Options selection displays the WAN Ethernet RIP Parameters screen.
• The Receive RIP pop-up menu controls the reception and transmission of Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) packets on the Ethernet WAN port. The default is Both.
