Summary

// what this is
AD Systems is registered to MAC prefix 00:50:D5 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:50:D5, that block was registered by AD Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning 00:50:D5 matches the MA-L prefix assigned to AD SYSTEMS CORP.; the available record does not identify a device type or product using it. The prefix establishes a registry match, not the device’s current operator, deployment, or security state.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for the remainder of a 48-bit address. It therefore has 16,777,216 possible suffix values, a mathematical range rather than a count of devices or shipments. The captured address can be checked against the first three octets; a match identifies the registered assignment only.

The first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. For this exact literal prefix, those bit values are fixed. Changing either bit changes the prefix and is not a variation within this assignment. RFC 7042 describes the significance of these bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers.
