Purpose
The purpose of this article is to outline the process for Locating MAC addresses, and Setting Static IP's on PicoCooler and PicoMarket devices.
Process
Locating MAC (WiFi)
- On the Pico device, navigate to the Driver Menu by tapping the top left of the screen 5 times in quick succession.
- Enter the applicable Driver PIN, or login via ADM email.
- Tap Start Setup App.
- Tap Setup Network.
- Tap WiFi.
- Make sure to tap WiFi regardless of the connection type the Pico device is currently utilizing. (We are not going to complete the network setup.)
- Make sure to tap WiFi regardless of the connection type the Pico device is currently utilizing. (We are not going to complete the network setup.)
- On the next screen, the device may say it is already connected to an SSID. Tap Next.
- Tap the Cogwheel at the top right of the screen.
- The MAC address is located near the middle of the Configure Wi-Fi screen. (See the below image for the exact location.)

- Enter the applicable Driver PIN, or login via ADM email.
- Tap Start Setup App.
- Tap Setup Network.
- Tap Ethernet. Make sure to tap Ethernet regardless of the connection type the Pico device is currently utilizing.
(We are not going to complete the network setup.) - On the next screen, turn ethernet on and select the Ethernet configuration option on the screen.
- Select DHCP on connection type. The MAC address will display under the IP address field. (See the below image for the exact location.)
Setting Static IP
Setting a static IP is sometimes necessary when connecting to a Local Network.
It can be set through either WiFi or Ethernet, and should not be needed when connecting through a cellular connection.
WiFi
- On the PicoCooler or PicoMarket device, navigate to the Setup App.
- Tap Setup Network.
- Tap WiFi.
- Tap Next.
- Press and Hold on the name of the desired Network.
- Tap Modify Network.
- Tap Advanced Options, then scroll down to IP settings.
- Tap DHCP and select Static.
- Enter the desired IP address, Gateway, and DNS Settings that were retrieved from the Network Administrator on-site.
- If the connection is already Static, document the existing values before making any changes.
- If the connection is already Static, document the existing values before making any changes.
- Tap Save.
Ethernet
Ethernet configuration is only available to PicoMarket and PicoMarket+ systems.
- Navigate to the Setup App.
- Tap Setup Network.
- Tap Ethernet.
- Make sure Ethernet is toggled on, then tap Ethernet configuration.
- Enter the desired IP address, Gateway, and DNS Settings that were retrieved from the Network Administrator onsite.
- If the connection is already Static, document the existing values before making any changes.
- If the connection is already Static, document the existing values before making any changes.
- Tap Save.
