3.5.4 WAN MAC Address
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.
You can configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC
address from a workstation on your LAN. 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.
ZyXEL recommends you clone the MAC address from a workstation on your LAN
even if your ISP does not require MAC address authentication.
Your ZyAIR WAN port is always set at half-duplex mode as most cable/DSL modems only support half-
duplex mode. Make sure your modem is in half-duplex mode. Your ZyAIR supports full duplex mode on the
LAN side.
