NBG-318S User’s Guide

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address 
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

This screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the NBG-
318S’s MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on your LAN or manually 
entering a MAC address. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the 
"rom" file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or 
upload a different "rom" file. It is advisable to clone the MAC address from a computer on 
your LAN even if your ISP does not presently require MAC address authentication.
