	Summary window. You can change the
	default name to one of your choice.

	single or multiple Ethernet clients	Ethernet clients
	attached to the Bridge.
	Support Single Wired Ethernet Client is
	used only when the Bridge is used for
	replacement of a 3Com Ethernet Client
	Bridge. Select a MAC option:
	■ Capture: Each time the Bridge is
	powered on, it captures its MAC
	address from the first packet it
	receives on the Ethernet port. The
	Bridge detects and uses the same
	MAC address as the device plugged
	into the Ethernet port.
	The Bridge uses the previously
	captured MAC address upon
	power-on until the first packet is
	received on the Ethernet port.
	■ Dynamic: The Bridge changes its
	MAC address each time the device
	plugged into the Ethernet port
	changes.
	The Bridge detects the MAC address
	of the device plugged into the
	Ethernet port and uses that as its
	own. The Bridge uses the built-in
	MAC address upon power-on until a
	packet is received on the Ethernet
	port.
	■ Built-in: The Bridge uses the
	manufacturing radio MAC address
	as default.
