4. In the Retype new password box, type the new password.  
5. To save the new password, click Apply. 
 
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 over Ethernet (PPPoE) 
Internet connection. Depending on 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. 
O
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 Microsoft Broadband 
Network Utility Help. 
O
If you selected Static, under Static Connection, type the IP address, subnet 
mask, default gateway IP address, and DNS addresses provided by your ISP.  
O
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. 
3. To save the wide area network (WAN) settings you have entered, click Apply.
