Or if is is brand new and searching for networks if your neigbour has an open network it could just as easily connect to that rather than yours, so there must be some way of configuring the device and selecting the network you want it to connect to that could query the MAC address. I'm still trying to get it set up into my lan.ĭoes the internet radio device have a port you can plug a cable into to configure/query it ?.Īnd is it new od second-hand, if pre-owned it may already be configured to look only for a specific ssid you don't have ?. That's a great nmap command, but it provides data only for nodes which are already connected in to the lan.

I suppose I could buy another wifi router and use that temporarily to find out the radio's MAC address, but that's a lot of time and expense just to get that one, small piece of information which should be easily provided by the radio. It could be that you have to give the command "dnf install nmap" before to install the program.I use static IPs (for various reasons) and I don't want to change that. The radio should answer with his MAC address. If you are still using IPv4, the command 'nmap -sP "my.sub.net.*"' as root asks every IP on your subnet who is the owner of that IP address. If not, it's more difficult, because by design communication from router to radio is not visible on other systems. May be you can find the MAC address via the configuration webpage of your router, if the radio requests it's IP address from the router by dhcp.
