MAC is the hardware address of network equipment. Sometimes,
network providers may bind network account with the network
equipment’s MAC address. So you may not pass the provider’s
authentication when you use a new VIP-256T. In this case, you can use
MAC Clone to copy your PC’s MAC address to VIP-256T’s Internet
port.
MAC is an important parameter for network equipment, so you should
make sure that the MAC is right, in order to prevent to make VIP-256T
unusable.
You can login VIP-256T’s Web via PC port if you are incautious about
making it wrong. And then cloning the right MAC or resuming the
default settings.
