How to find your computers MAC address
To access the QUB network, you must first register your computers MAC address, using a QF22 form .
For details on how to do this, please see below.
The most important information required on a QF22 is your computer MAC address.
To find your computers MAC address, you need to enter the BIOS. To do that, restart your device and as it starts,
continually tap the F2 key on the keyboard.
Your BIOS page will look like one of the following:
If your BIOS is the 2nd version, you will first need to select "system Information" from the left hand pane.
Then, in the right hand pane, in either version, scroll to the bottom of the page.
Your computer may have two MAC addresses. They will be labelled as LOM MAC and/or Passthrough MAC.
Carefully note down whatever MACs are shown. Then, click exit and your computer will reboot as normal.
Please proceed to complete the QF22 form; If the page prompts you to request a Power Apps license upon clicking the QF22 form link, kindly click on the yellow circled ‘Request License’ button. Upon successful addition of access, you will receive the information needed to proceed.
If you get the following pop up, please select "Fix Connection" then click "Allow"
Tips for filling in the QF22 form
