The 'MAC Address' tab allows you to specify which LinkTheater can see the specific PC; this is an advanced
feature that is not required in most homes. If there are multiple LinkTheaters on your network and you
wish to only stream information from this PC to one specific LinkTheater, then please enter the MAC Address
of the specific LinkTheater into the MAC Address list by pressing the '+' button. Additionally, you will have
to check the 'Enable MAC address control' check box. Multiple MAC addresses can be added if you want
this PC to stream information to multiple LinkTheaters.
The MAC Address of the LinkTheater can be found on the rear
panel of LinkTheater just above the serial number. The
LinkTheater will have two MAC Addresses, one for the Wired
Ethernet Port and one for the Wireless Radio. Please enter the
MAC Address that corresponds to the way LinkTheater is
connected (if unsure, enter both MAC Addresses).
