Be sure to store your password in a safe place. If you forget or misplace your password
and cannot log on to the Base Station Management Tool, you can restore the base
station to the factory default settings from the base station itself, and then use the
default password admin to open the Base Station Management Tool. For more
information about restoring factory default settings to the base station, see Chapter 1,
“Introduction.”
Step 4: Establish Your Internet Settings
On the Wide Area Network page of the Base Station Management Tool, you must
specify whether you have a dynamic, static or Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
(PPPoE) Internet connection. Depending upon the type of Internet connection you have
and your ISP account, you will be required to specify additional Internet settings
information, such as your host name, subnet mask, or domain name server (DNS)
address. This information is typically provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you need assistance determining your Internet settings, see Appendix A, “Locating
Your Internet and Network Settings.”
1. From the Base Station Management Tool, click Wide Area Network. On the Wide
Area Network page, under Internet Connection Type, select the type of Internet
connection provided by your ISP.
2. Enter the information required for your specific Internet connection type.

If you selected Dynamic, under Dynamic Connection, specify a host name if your
ISP requires it. Specify the DNS primary and secondary addresses, if your ISP
provided you with this information. If you are replacing an existing base station,
router, or gateway with the Microsoft base station, specify the media access
control (MAC) address of that device in the MAC Address box, and then click
Clone MAC Address. Otherwise, specify the MAC address of the adapter that
was connected to the modem in the MAC Address box, and then click Clone
MAC Address. For information about MAC addresses, see Broadband Network
Utility Help.

If you selected Static, under Static Connection, type the IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway IP address, and DNS addresses provided by your ISP.

If you selected PPPoE, under Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE),
type your user name and password, the service name if your ISP provided it, and
the maximum idle time, if your ISP instructed you to do so. You will be
disconnected from the Internet if the time that you specify elapses without
activity. Select the Auto-reconnect check box to reestablish the connection
automatically after a disconnect.
