MAC Cloning

Some ISPs require that you register any MAC addresses of the computer behind the cable

modem before you establish an Internet connection.

Nokia IP45 takes the place of the computer behind the cable modem and you can use MAC

cloning to enter the original computer MAC address without contacting the ISP to change that

information.

Cloning a MAC Address

A MAC address is a 12-digit identifier assigned to every network device. If your ISP restricts

connections to specific, recognized MAC addresses, you must clone a MAC address.
