SB6183: Locating the HFC MAC Address

Where can I find the HFC MAC address on my SB6183 modem?

The label on the bottom of the SB6183 contains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, a unique, 48-bit value permanently saved in ROM at the factory to identify each Ethernet network device. To receive data service, the MAC address marked HFC MAC ID will need to be provided to the Internet Service Provider.  The HFC MAC ID is also known as the CMAC Address.  This document includes the following sections:

• Locating the MAC ID on the Bottom Panel
• Locating the MAC ID in the GUI (Graphical User Interface)

Locating the MAC ID on the Bottom Panel

The MAC ID can be located on a white sticker on the bottom of the device.
