Scenario 2: Connecting a wired device using MAC address cloning

2.Select Ethernet MAC cloning, then configure the following options:

Select the Discovered MAC address option. This option causes the M111 to take the MAC address of the wired device that is connected to Port 1 (the printer) and assign it to the Wireless port. Once this is done, the M111 re-associates with the MSM AP using the current station profile.

A limitation of MAC cloning is that once the cloned MAC address is used to establish the wireless connection, the M111 itself is no longer accessible through the wireless port. To enable support for wireless access to the management tool, select Management tool (TCP port 443). Note that to reach the management tool you must use the IP address assigned to the cloned device (5.10) and not the IP address assigned to the M111 (5.11). For information on the other interception options, see Setting up management traffic interception on page 3-32.

3.Select Save.

H. Connect the wired device to the M111

Connect the printer to Port 1 on the M111 using a standard Ethernet cable.

The M111 will automatically re-connect to the wireless network using the IP address 192.168.5.10. Computers on the private network should now be able to send print jobs to the printer.

To reach the M111 management tool from the private network, use the address 192.168.5.10.
