used for replacement of a Enterasys
Networks Ethernet Client Ethernet
Adapter. Select a MAC option:
■ Capture: Each time the Ethernet
Adapter is powered on, it captures its
MAC address from the first packet it
receives on the Ethernet port. The
Ethernet Adapter detects and uses
the same MAC address as the device
plugged into the Ethernet port.
The Ethernet Adapter uses the
previously captured MAC address
upon power-on until the first packet
is received on the Ethernet port.
■ Dynamic: The Ethernet Adapter
changes its MAC address each time
the device plugged into the Ethernet
port changes.
The Ethernet Adapter detects the
MAC address of the device plugged
into the Ethernet port and uses that
as its own. The Ethernet Adapter uses
the built-in MAC address upon
power-on until a packet is received
on the Ethernet port.
■ Built-in: The Ethernet Adapter uses
the manufacturing radio MAC
address as default.
Support multiple wired
Ethernet clients
