Enable override MAC address for the External
Network

A SOHO administrator is able to assign a second MAC address to
the SOHO 6 External Network making it easier to register with an
ISP that requires a separate MAC for registration.

1

Select Enable override MAC address for the External
Network
.

2

Enter the MAC address that will be assigned to the SOHO 6
External Network.

N

OTE

If the External Network override MAC address text box is cleared and
the SOHO 6 is rebooted, the SOHO 6 will automatically go back to the
factory-default External MAC address.

3

Click Submit.

As a guard against MAC address collisions, the SOHO 6 will look
for the External Network override MAC address periodically. If
the SOHO 6 finds two devices on the local network with the same
MAC address, the SOHO 6 will automatically reset itself to the
factory-default External MAC address and reboot.
