Multicast Pass-Through: IP Multicasting occurs when a single data packet is sent to multiple
recipients at the same time. Using the Multicast Pass-Through feature, the Router allows IP multicast
packets to be forwarded to the appropriate computers. This feature is enabled by default, or select
Disable to disable the feature.
MAC Cloning: The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware
for identification. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of your network card/adapter,
which was connected to your cable or DSL modem during installation. If your ISP requires MAC
address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the instructions for your PC’s
operating system.
