13.7 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 gateway, you can simplify the installation
process by copying the MAC address of your existing PC to the gateway.
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. Click the 'MAC Cloning' icon in the 'Advanced' screen of the Web-based Management;
the MAC Cloning screen appears (refer to the figure).

3. Press the button 'Clone My MAC Address'.
13.8 Regional Settings
The behavior and parameters of analog telephones lines vary between countries. The set
of Call Progress Tones, the protocol used for caller ID and the analog line impedance are
all location-specific. The MP-202 enables users to select the country they reside in and the
MP-202 automatically selects the correct regional settings.
