What this means

The IEEE assigned the MA-L block 00A03D to OPTO-22. Every network interface they manufacture under this block has a MAC address beginning with these digits, followed by a unique per-device identifier. If a device on your network shows a MAC starting 00:A0:3D, it is OPTO-22 hardware.
