8.6.8 MAC Address Clone

PPPoE frames from the WAN side addressed to the PBX are processed by the PBX.
(Normally, PPPoE frames from the LAN side are not addressed to the PBX. PPPoE frames addressed
to a device other than the PBX are bridged (both WAN ® LAN and LAN ® WAN)).
–
If PPPoE Bridge is disabled
PPPoE frames are not bridged.
•
For details about devices that are compatible with PPPoE Bridge, consult the network administrator.

8.6.8 MAC Address Clone
Description
This feature allows the MAC address of the WAN interface to be changed. If this feature is disabled, the
factory-set MAC address is used. If this feature is enabled, you can specify a MAC address manually.
Note
Some ISPs register the MAC address of the PC used for initial setup for connecting to the internet. In this
case, if you install a new router, the MAC address will be different from the one used in the initial setup
with the ISP and the connection may be rejected.
Although you may be able to have the ISP update the registered MAC address, the MAC Address Clone
feature is provided so you can avoid this time-consuming process.
