Alacron Inc. MAC Prefix 00:22:42 — Identified Vendor, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Alacron is registered to MAC prefix
00:22:42in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:22:42, that block was registered by Alacron — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact
00:22:42prefix match identifies the MA-L registry assignment; it does not establish a specific device, deployment, current vendor identity, or security status. The first octet00has Group and Local bits both zero. The 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible values; this is not a device or shipment count. Changing either bit changes the prefix.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:22:42 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Alacron Inc.; the assignment identifies the registrant, not a particular device. Alacron’s site describes the company as a manufacturer of frame grabbers and vision processors, high-speed cameras, and a provider of imaging technology to sensor providers. Its catalog names FastX frame grabbers, FastVision cameras, and backside imaging technologies, but the supplied material does not map any of these products to this prefix.
The assigned prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible combinations, not a device or shipment count. Its first octet is 00, so the Group bit (bit 0) and Local bit (bit 1) are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact literal prefix match; changing either produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains the role of these bits and the structure of MAC identifiers.
A match supports identifying the registry assignment, not deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or security status.
