What You Need to Know 

Hardware Address  

You need to know the unit’s hardware address (also known as MAC address). It is on the 
product label, in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs are unique numbers 
assigned to the product. 

Hardware Address

:  00-20-4a-_____-_____-_____  

IP Address   

Your WiPort must have a unique IP address on your network.  By default, the device is 
DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned an IP address (on DHCP-enabled networks).  
If assigning a static IP address, make note of it.  The systems administrator generally 
provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The IP address must be within a 
valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC.
