Hardware Media Access Control (MAC) Addresses

ÂAirPort ID: Two addresses are used to identify the AirPort Extreme on a wireless network.
ÂEthernet ID: You may need to provide this address to your ISP to connect your
AirPort Extreme to the Internet.
Using Your AirPort Extreme Safely ÂThe only way to shut o power completely to your AirPort Extreme is to disconnect it from
the power source.
ÂWhen connecting or disconnecting your AirPort Extreme, always hold the plug by its sides.
Keep your ngers away from the metal part of the plug.
ÂYour AirPort Extreme should not be opened for any reason, even when it’s unplugged. If your
AirPort Extreme needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 20.
ÂNever force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable
ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that
you’ve positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
