1.5 Basic Terminology
Hardware Address
The TPG60 is addressable by means of its world-wide unique
hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the MAC
or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this address in
the hardware of the device. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal
numbers. The first six numbers represent the manufacturer, while
the last six numbers identify the individual device.

The hardware address is found on the housing, the TPG Homepage,
