How do I find the MAC address?
Network devices have a unique hardware identification num ber to distinguish them from oth er devices on the network.
This is called the MAC (Media Access Control) address. Other devices sometimes use a type of MAC address called
Universally Administered Address (UAA).
When installing the printer on a network, make sure you select the printer with the correct MAC address.
The MAC address of the internal print server is a series of letters and numbers.
MAC: XX XX XX XX XX XX
Notes:
A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (wireless r outer) so that only devices with matching MAC
addresses are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your
access point and you want to add a printer to your network, then the M AC address of the printer must be
included in the MAC filter list.
If you are using an AirPort base station, then the MAC address may be referred to as AirPort ID, and MAC
address filtering may be accessed through MAC Address Access Control.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number used by devices (such as a wireless printer, computer, or wireless access point ) on
an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Device s on an IP network can communicate with each other
only if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have
the same IP address.
An IP address is a group of four numbers separated by periods. An example of an IP addr ess is 192.168.100.110.
