Register MAC address | Get MAC address

The wired network service allows access to the network through iscte’s physical data infrastructure. This access is for terminal equipment only, and no connection of network equipment or similar equipment is authorized.

  • In the common spaces (classrooms, auditoriums, laboratories and study rooms) just connect the computer to the data network socket.
  • In other spaces (enclosures and services), it is necessary to request the registration of the physical address (mac-address) of the network card of the personal computer.


Record the physical address of the network card

To request to register the physical address of the ethernet network card:

  1. Sign in to “iHelp.”
  2. Click “NEW ORDER“.
  3. Choose the category “Networks, Internet and Communications“.
  4. Choose the sub-caregoria “Cable network“.
  5. Choose “Register Mac Address“.
  6. Preenher the form indicating macaddress in the format “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx“.
  7. Press “Next.”
  8. Click “OK“.

Note: The physical address of the network card (mac-address) that is defaulted will be the one that you can use to access the wired network. After registering the mac-address in the Fénix system, a request for help will be opened on your behalf to request the activation of the same on the network.
