DC-202 xDSL/Cable Broadband router
MAC Address
The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be
called "MAC Address", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC,
this address is associated with the Network card or adapter. The address
on the MAC Address screen is the address on the Internet (WAN port)
interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface.
•
If your ISP asks for the Network Adapter Address, Physical Address,
Hardware Address, or MAC Address for the PC the DSL/Cable modem is
connected to, provide this value.
•
If your ISP has already recorded a MAC Address, you can change the
address used by the DC-202 to match the address recorded by your
ISP.
