Mac Cloning; Cloning A Mac Address - Nokia IP40 User Manual

MAC Cloning

Some ISPs require that you register any MAC addresses of the computer behind the cable
modem before you establish an Internet connection.
The Nokia IP40 takes the place of the computer behind the cable modem and you can use MAC
cloning to enter the original computer MAC address without contacting the ISP to change that
information.
To configure for cable modem connection
1. Enter the Host name in the Identification page.
This field is optional. It might be required by your ISP and if so the ISP provides it.
2. Click Next.
The Confirmation message appears.
3. Click Next.
The system attempts to connect to the Internet.
At the end of the connection process the Connected message appears. When you are
connected, the wizard prompts you to register your details and set up your subscription
options, which vary from product to product.
4. Follow the instructions until the wizard is done, and then click Finish.

Cloning a MAC Address

A MAC address is a 12-digit identifier assigned to every network device. If your ISP restricts
connections to specific, recognized MAC addresses, you must clone a MAC address.
To clone a MAC address
1. Choose Network from the main menu.
The Internet window opens.
2. Click the Edit tab next to the Cloned MAC Address field.
The MAC cloning window opens.
