All devices that are compatible with wired networking, contain MAC addresses. The MAC address is used to identify the device on the network.
In order for any device to be connected to the wired network, it will need to be registered with ITS. An example of registration: Your PC or MAC is connected to the wired network, when Internet Explorer is opened, you are required to enter your ID and Password to register the device. Since gaming and TiVo devices do not have an internet browser to reach the registration page, these devices must be pre-registered to pass through the registration page.
Locate the Mac address:
- At the Home screen, press the menu key.
- Scroll to the Options icon and press the trackball.
- Scroll to Status and press the trackball to view the WLAN MAC Address
