◆

Ethernet Port

— Select the WAN port connection type from the drop-

down list. Alternatively, you can disable the Ethernet WAN port

connection and just use the USB 3G modem connection.

■

Enable MAC Clone

— Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a

specified MAC address. This setting allows you to manually change

the MAC address of the Mini 3G Broadband Router’s WAN interface

to match the PC's MAC address provided to your ISP for

registration. You can enter the registered MAC address manually by

typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with

the registered MAC address to the Mini 3G Broadband Router, then

click the “Clone your PC’s MAC Address.” (Default: Disable)
