ADL Embedded Solutions, Inc. — EC:42:F0 identifies an IEEE registry assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- ADL Embedded Solutions is registered to MAC prefix
EC:42:F0in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withEC:42:F0, that block was registered by ADL Embedded Solutions — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values; that is not an observed device or shipment count. In the first octet EC, the Group and Local bits are both 0 and are fixed for this exact prefix. Changing either bit creates a different prefix. An exact match identifies the registry assignment, not a particular device or its security state.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning EC:42:F0 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to ADL Embedded Solutions, Inc.; it does not identify a specific device category or product. The supplied records contain no independent company material establishing its products, industry, website, or country, and no source maps a device type to this prefix.
EC:42:F0 is a 24-bit prefix in a 48-bit MAC address, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. That allows 16,777,216 possible suffix values; it is not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses observed in use. An exact prefix match identifies the registry assignment only, not a particular device, operating system, current legal identity, or security state.
In the first octet EC (binary 11101100), the Group bit is 0 and the Local bit is 0. For this exact prefix, both bits are fixed: changing either produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains these bits and the relationship between MAC identifiers and assigned prefixes. The available IEEE CSV record has no assignment date.
