*What is a MAC address?

This is an identifying code specific to any device that distinguishes it from others and allows it to connect to the Internet. You will need to find your device’s MAC address to connect it to DeviceNet, and each type of device records the address in a different place. Use this guide to obtain the MAC address for different device types.
