MAC Cloning
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the numeric code that identifies a device on a
network, such as your external cable/DSL modem or a PC network card. Your Service
Provider may ask you to supply the MAC address of your PC, external modem, or both.
When replacing an external modem with your MP-20x, you can simplify the installation
process by copying the MAC address of your existing PC to MP-20x. In such a case, you
do not need to delay the setup process by informing your Service Provider of newly
installed equipment.
To use MAC cloning:
1.
In the 'Advanced' screen, click the MAC Cloning
screen appears.
2.
In the 'To Physical Address' field, enter the physical MAC address to be cloned.
3.
Click the button Clone My MAC Address.
