Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address . Your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service .
When you install the N1 Vision, its own MAC address will be “seen” by
the ISP and may cause the connection not to work . Belkin has provided
the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the N1
Vision . This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as
the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work . If you
are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address,
simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally
connected to the modem . Cloning the address will not cause any
problems with your network .
Cloning your MAC Address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer
that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the N1 Vision
was installed . Click the “Clone” button
(1)
. Click “Apply Changes”
(3)
.
Your MAC address is now cloned to the N1 Vision .
Entering a Specific MAC Address
In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address .
You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page . Type in a
MAC address in the spaces provided
(2)
and click “Apply Changes”
(3)
to save the changes . The N1 Vision’s WAN MAC address will now be
changed to the MAC address you specified .
