Device Tab
The Device tab contains information about your current WiMAX Device (if any).
● MAC Address – The Hardware Address of the device. MAC (Media Access Control)
addresses are pre-configured by the device's manufacturer and usually cannot be
altered. These addresses are used for transferring data by hardware-level protocols
such as Ethernet or WiMAX. Higher level protocols such as the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
used by the Internet have their own addressing schemes, but still rely on the
hardware-level protocol for the transfer of data between individual nodes on a
network.
