Enabling MAC spoofing
Note
You should only enable MAC spoofing if your ISP has requested
that you do so. In most cases, you will not need to do this.
Your ISP identifies your modem by its unique hardware number or Media
Access Control (MAC) address. If you are using PPPoE Internet access,
your ISP may want you to spoof the identity of a different device. You can
spoof the MAC address of another device by replacing your Commander
Pulse’s existing MAC address with another device’s address. Your ISP will
provide you with the replacement MAC address.
Note
You can only configure MAC spoofing if you are using PPPoE
Internet access.
If your ISP instructs you to change your Commander Pulse’s default MAC
address, follow the instructions below:
1. From the Internet Access page, click “Enable” or “disable MAC
Spoofing here… “ The following page is displayed:
2. Select “Enabled
3. Click “Next>”. The following page is displayed:
4. The MAC address is made up of six pairs of characters. Each
character can be either a number between 0 and 9, or a letter
between A and F. For example, 00:20:2b:80:2f:30. Click in each box
and type each character pair of the MAC address provided by your
ISP.
5. Click “Next>”. This page confirms your MAC spoofing settings. If you
are happy with these settings,
6. Click “Confirm Changes”. The Internet Access page is displayed, and
your MAC spoofing configuration is complete.
