Setup > MAC Address Clone
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 12-digit code
assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification.
Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address
for Internet access. If your computer’s MAC address is
registered with your ISP and you do not wish to re-register
the MAC address, you may assign the registered MAC
address to the Valet with the MAC Address Clone feature.

Advanced Routing

NAT

Enabled/Disabled If the Valet is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled. If
another router exists on your network, select Disabled.
When Network Address Translation (NAT) is disabled,
dynamic routing will be available.

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Dynamic routing uses the Routing I nformation Protocol
(RIP). This option enables the Valet to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and
exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The
Valet determines the network packets’ route based on
the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination.
Enabled/Disabled When NAT is disabled, the Dynamic
Routing option is available. To use the Dynamic Routing
option, select Enabled.

Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or
network. Enter the information described below to set up
a new static route.
