Using a Cable Modem Connection
If you selected the Cable Modem connection method, the Identification dialog box
appears.
1. If your ISP requires a specific hostname for authentication, type it in the Host
Name field.
The ISP will supply you with the proper hostname, if required. Most ISPs do not
require a specific hostname.
2. A MAC address is a 12-digit identifier assigned to every network device. If your
ISP restricts connections to specific, recognized MAC addresses, they will
instruct you to enter the MAC address. Otherwise, you may leave this field
blank.
If your ISP requires the MAC address, do either of the following:
• Click This Computer to automatically "clone" the MAC address of your
computer to the Safe@Office appliance.
Or
• If the ISP requires authentication using the MAC address of a different
computer, enter the MAC address in the MAC cloning field.
