Physical Interface Settings
MAC Address
This setting allows configuring a user-specified MAC address.
Some service providers (e.g. cable providers) identify the clients’ MAC
addresses and require a client to always connect using the same MAC
address. In such cases, use the MAC Address setting to change the
PePLink Balance WAN interface MAC address to be the same as that of
the original client PC.
The default MAC Address is a unique value assigned at the factory. In
most cases, the default value suffices. Clicking the
Default
button
restores the MAC Address to the default value.
