4.4.9 WAN MAC Address

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC

address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal

characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

This screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using

the NBG-460N’s MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on your

System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable)

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP

address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you

must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG-460N uses a

system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS

and the time server.

First DNS Server

Second DNS Server

Third DNS Server

Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.

If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP

addresses when configuring DDNS and the time server.
