Chapter 5 Advanced Setup
MAC Address Cloning
Selecting MAC Address Cloning in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “MAC Address Cloning” screen. A MAC (media access control) address is an identifier unique to every networkable device. Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) require a MAC address to validate a computer’s permission to be on their net- work. If the ISP requires this information, obtain the MAC address of the computer originally configured for the ISP (see Appendix D for instructions to determine the computer’s MAC address). Enter the MAC address in the “User Select WAN MAC Address” text boxes in the “MAC Address Cloning” screen.
After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
