Figure 26 MAC Setup
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning your computer’s MAC address. Choose Factory Default to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise, click Spoof this computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of your computer. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different ROM file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN Port.
