Technicolor - Thomson TCW710 manual MAC and IP Addresses Summary

Chapter 2: Networking

USB-connected PC to make them look Ethernet-style when passed between you and your cable company. To do this, the gateway must effectively “loan” an Ethernet-style address for use in all these packets. For this purpose, the gateway uses a MAC address of MAC label + 5 (the MAC label is found on the bottom of the unit). E.g., if the MAC address is 00:90:64:12:B1:91, this MAC address would be 00: 90:64:12:B1:96.
