How Do I Find The Mac Address - Lexmark Pro715 User Manual

Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of
devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses, as well as prevent access from unwanted devices.
If your network uses MAC address filtering, then be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed
devices.

How do I find the MAC address?

Network devices have a unique hardware identification number to distinguish them from other 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.
Notes:
• A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (wireless router) 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 MAC 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.
