Configuring Your Gateway

2. If you have a host name provided by your ISP (i.e. CX-1234-56789) enter it in
the “Host Name” field.
Some ISPs register the MAC Address of your network card. A MAC (Media Access
Control) Address is a unique identification number (in hexadecimal digits) given to
each networking device. Once your MAC address is registered, the ISP’s server will
verify that the MAC address you are connecting with matches the one that’s
registered. If it does not match, you cannot connect. The CheetahAccess Wireless
Gateway’s MAC Address will not be the same as your network card’s address—and
therefore will not be the same as the address that your ISP has registered—so you
may need the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to “Clone” the address from your
network card. Then the ISP will find a MAC Address that matches the one they have
recorded.
