How to get the MAC Address of a Click?

I went through a few Gyrations to get the MAC Address from my Last Batch of Clicks.. This time I'd like to not have to set up a Router for the Clicks, just to get the MAC Address from the Connection..

 

Is it SOMEWHERE accessible from the Software that is Connected to it?.. V3.80

    Without some research, I do not know when this capability was added, but in Version 3.92

    There are (2) ways to see the MAC from the connected Click.

     

    1) PLC > Online Project Information... > Connect (shown in hex, for example: 00:D0:7C:12:97:8A)

    2) In Data View, SD188 thru SD193 (shown in dec, for example:

    SD188: 0

    SD189: 208

    SD190: 124

    SD191: 18

    SD192: 151

    AD193: 138

    Just checked with a Version 3.60, and it also has the capability to view the MAC in (2) ways.

    Another way to view the MAC is on the Connect to PLC screen. This will show all CLICKs that are on that network as well.

     

    A note on the data view method as well. You can change the Viewing Format to view in Hex. Only caveat there is you have to ignore the first 2 hex characters as well as the 'h' at the end. I.E. '001Ah' would be '1A'
