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.

Additional

Public IP

Address

The IP Address List represents the list of fixed Internet IP addresses assigned by the ISP, in

the event that more than one Internet IP addresses are assigned to this WAN connection.

Enter the fixed Internet IP addresses and the corresponding subnet mask, and then click the

Down Arrow button to populate IP address entries to the IP Address List.

IPv6

IPv6 support can be enabled on one of the available Ethernet WAN ports. On this screen, you

can choose which WAN will support IPv6.

To enable IPv6 support on a WAN, the WAN router must respond to Stateless Address Auto

configuration advertisements and DHCPv6 requests. IPv6 clients on the LAN will acquire their

IPv6, gateway, and DNS server addresses from it. The device will also acquire an IPv6

address for performing ping/traceroute checks and accepting web admin accesses.

Note: This feature is only available on Pepwave MAX 700 and HD2.
