Chapter 8 Setup MAC Address Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Network Type (Wireless) The DMA can act as a wireless LAN client when you connect a compatible ZyXEL IEEE 802.11n wireless USB adapter to the DMA's USB port. You can set the network type to Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode. In Infrastructure mode the DMA connects to the wired network through an Access Point (AP).

MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Network Type (Wireless)
The DMA can act as a wireless LAN client when you connect a compatible ZyXEL
IEEE 802.11n wireless USB adapter to the DMA’s USB port. You can set the
network type to
Infrastructure
or
Ad-Hoc
mode. In
Infrastructure
mode the
DMA connects to the wired network through an Access Point (AP).
Figure 8
Infrastructure Mode
In
Ad-Hoc
mode the DMA connects to a computer that is a wireless client without
using an AP.
