Each device is shipped from the factory with unique MAC-address already assigned to it. DO NOT change this address unless you have a good reason to do so. If you do change the address remember that the first digit of the address must be even!
Since the MAC-address of each device is unique it may be used for device identification. It is returned by the Echo (X) command and also used to address a particular device in the Assign IP-address (A) command and Select In Broadcast Mode (W) command.
