Find The Mac Address On A Computer; Add A Device To The Trusted Client List - Verizon Wireless MiFi 2200 User Manual

When the feature is disabled (un-checked), any device with the correct network name (SSID) and
network key (Wi-Fi passkey) can connect to the MiFi 2200 wireless network.

Find the MAC Address on a Computer

The Media Access Controller (MAC) Address is also known as a hardware or physical address for a
device (usually a network adapter). It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters (for example,
00-21-9B-1C-64-34).
You can view the MAC address for any device connected to the MiFi wireless network from the Wi-Fi
screen. See Wi-Fi on page 33.
Tip!
You can cut and paste your computer's MAC address from the Wi-Fi Clients section of the Wi-Fi
screen.
If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can find the MAC address
directly.
On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can find the Physical Address
•
by running ipconfig /all from the cmd window.
» To run ipconfig/all, select Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Accessories > Command Prompt to open
the Command Prompt window. Then type ipconfig/all and press the Return or Enter key.
On a Mac, the MAC address is the AirPort ID.

» To find the AirPort ID, open the Apple () Menu > System Preferences > Network. In the list, click
AirPort. Click Advanced. A sheet opens. Click the AirPort tab. The AirPort ID is at the bottom of the sheet.

adapter and not the Ethernet controller (NIC), if the computer has both.
