APPENDIX G QUICK START GUIDE 2. The Model 195Ep will link to other Model 195Ep’s on the network via the WLAN Media Access Control (MAC) address found on the bottom of the case. This MAC address is six hexadecimal digits separated by colons and is configured at the factory. Every MAC address in the world is unique and can not be changed. Complete the following chart to aid in your configuration: Name Example Modem 1 Serial Number E-14001 IP Address 172.16.8.
