3. You will need to enter the MAC address of the device into the MAC Address box, number
and letters only.
What is the Mac (Media Access Control) address?
All devices that have a network adapter carry a unique number that is embedded on each device;
this is called the Mac address. In most cases, you can find the Mac address in the setting options
of the device. If you are unable to find the Mac Address please contact the vendor of the device.
They will explain to you how to find this unique number. The location of the Mac address
changes for each vendor and this is the reason you must contact them directly. Most vendors post
how to find this information on the products website for quick access.
