Mac Address - Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl First Steps

MAC Address

If you already had Internet access through the same Internet provider before connecting
the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl, it is possible that the MAC address of one of your PCs was
used for registration when the connection was being set up. In this case, you must
either replace the current MAC address with the MAC address registered with the Inter-
net provider or ask your Internet provider to register a MAC address for you.
Carry out the following steps:
ì
Connect a PC to the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl and open the configuration environ-
ment.
ì
In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select MAC Address.
ì
Specify which MAC address is to be used for the Internet connection:
– Use default device MAC address: You can leave this default setting if the MAC
address of the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl is used for connecting to the Internet.
– Use MAC address of this PC: Select this option if the MAC address of the cur-
rently connected PC has previously been registered for connecting to the Internet
or if you have re-registered the MAC address of the PC on which you are currently
working.
– Use custom MAC address: Select this option if you have asked your Internet pro-
vider to register a new MAC address and this is not the MAC address of the PC on
which you are currently carrying out the configuration.
ì
Click OK to apply the settings.
