How do I connect my Apple TV or gaming console to the Deakin network?

To connect these devices to the Deakin network, you need to use a wired connection.

1. Login to the Internet Access Application using your Deakin username and password.
2. Register the MAC (ethernet) address of your console under Register a device that you are not currently using.
3. Plug your console into a network point using an ethernet cable.

A MAC (ethernet) address is a unique 12-charater address consisting of [0-9][A-F] displayed in the following possible formats:

• Without any separator: - 00000ABB28FC
• Extra space after every two digits: - 00 00 0A BB 28 FC

• Period after every two digits: - 00.00.0A.BB.28.FC
