 +==== A Word On The MAC Address ====
 +
 +  * The MAC Address is the MAC address from the WiFi interface of the device that the user will connect with to the Captive Portal.
 +  * When we use the login page to do the user registration we can extract it from the detail provided to us by CoovaChilli typically.
 +  * When we create something like a mobile app and want to allow someone to register **without being connected to the Captive Portal**, we can still supply the MAC address of the device using the app.
 +  * Here is some info on how to get it programmatically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10831578/how-to-find-mac-address-of-an-android-device-programmatically/13007454
  
 +==== Reply - Success ====
