MAC Address

How do I find the MAC address for my ION board?  I am trying to set up a network and need this information.

  • May I ask why you need the MAC address? What are you trying to do?

    It's very rare that you actually need that in a modern network.

    As far as I know, all the network systems that require it (MAC filters, DHCP servers etc) show it next to the IP address or even name of the devices.
    - So it's a pretty good rule of thumb that if you can't see it, you don't need it.

  • I'm trying to set up the network power on so I don't have to climb all the way up to the booth then all the way back down to do channel check through the aRFR app.  

    I've read on the forums that to do so you can set up another app that sends a signal to a computer (in this case the board) that tells it to wake up and power on.  Though to do this the program needs the MAC address to know where to send the signal.
