As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific
operating system by following the steps below:



Windows 98/Windows Me. Go to the computer‟s Start

menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. A
popup window will be displayed. Select the appropriate
adapter from the pull-down menu and you will see the
Adapter Address. This is the MAC address of the device.



Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows 7. Go to the
computer‟s Start menu, select Programs, select
Accessories, and select Command Prompt. At the
command prompt, type in ipconfig /all

and hit Enter.

The physical address displayed for the adapter connecting to the router is the MAC address.



Mac OS X. Go to the computer‟s Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network, and select the Ethernet Adapter

connecting

to the router. Select the Ethernet

button and the Ethernet ID

will be listed. This is the same as the MAC.

Save/Update.

Record the changes you have made.

Clear.

Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made.

When you are done editing the settings, you must click the Save Settings

button at the top of the page to make the changes effective and

permanent.

Example: A DHCP reservation is used for making sure the router always gives a computer or device the same IP address. Let‟s say you have a

Wi-Fi printer

that you want to

access via

the Internet. You can connect to the CradlePoint Router from the

Wi-Fi printer designated in this section

1. Enter a designated IP address somewhere between the

Starting IP

and

Ending IP

addresses.

2. Click the

Copy Your PC’s MAC Address

button and the MBR1000 will detect the MAC address

of the device

and enter it automatically.

3. The

printer

name can be entered in for reference but is not required.

4. Click the

Save Settings

button at the top of the page.

The IP address will now only be assigned to the designated

Wi-Fi printer

nd it will always receive the same IP address as long as it uses the

same wireless adapter.

Default: No static DHCP clients.

NOTE: If you replace the wireless adapter in a computer that is using Static DHCP, you will need to click the Copy the PC‟s MAC Address button
again because every wireless adapter has a unique MAC address. The same goes for any network device. If you replace a network device such
as a print server, you will need to input the MAC address of the new print server into the Static DHCP configuration.
