MAC Address Cloning
Selecting MAC Address Cloning in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates
the “ MAC Address Cloning” screen. A MAC (media access control) address is an
identifier unique to every networkable device. Some Internet Service Providers
(
ISP) require a MAC address to validate a computer’s permission to be on their net-
work. If the ISP requires this information, obtain the MAC address of the computer
originally configured for the ISP (see Appendix D for instructions to determine the
computer’s MAC address). Enter the MAC address in the “User Select WAN MAC
Address” text boxes in the “ MAC Address Cloning” screen.
