About MAC Addresses
A MAC address is a number that uniquely identifies your device's network interface. A MAC address is sometimes
referred to as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address, or physical address.
MAC addresses are usually formatted as twelve characters grouped in pairs separated by either colons or hyphens. They
may consist of only number pairs, or include number pairs and letter pairs, and in some cases do not include
separators—for example:
00:11:22:33:44:55
00-11-22-33-44-55
11:22:33:AA:BB:CC
112233AABBCC
If for some reason the Mac Address field on the Register Device form is not prepopulated, you may need to find your
device's address. Methods for finding the MAC address differ according to the type of device and operating system.
Due to the variety of devices, these methods cannot all be described here, but they are easy to find on the Internet. An
Internet search for "mac address" will return a number of pages describing how to quickly find MAC addresses for
different device types.
Automatically Supplying the MACTrac Device Address
