14.8 MAC Cloning
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the numeric code that identifies a device on a
network, such as your external cable/DSL modem or a PC network card. Your Service
Provider may ask you to supply the MAC address of your PC, external modem, or both.
When replacing an external modem with your MP-20x, you can simplify the installation
process by copying the MAC address of your existing PC to MP-20x. In such a case, you
do not need to delay the setup process by informing your Service Provider of newly
installed equipment.
¾ To use MAC cloning:
1. In the 'Advanced' screen, click the MAC Cloning icon; the 'MAC Cloning'
screen appears.
