DW Blackjack MAC Address

Each DW Blackjack Server generates a unique alphanumeric identifier, known as a “MAC address”, for each network interface card (NIC) that is installed within the hardware. The MAC address may be needed by a network administrator or installation technician to help identify and locate your DW Spectrum Server within the local network. Most DW Blackjack Servers come with two NIC cards, yielding two different MAC addresses.

This article will outline how to find and identify the MAC address of a network card on a DW Blackjack Server.
