We recommend the use of Ethernet or WiFi with the Scorebird device. If using Ethernet, plug Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port. If using WiFi, use the Scorebird for Admins mobile app. In order to use WiFi, the NeST must be Online via Ethernet or Cellular. If you do not have Ethernet or WiFi, we can use the built-in cell chip to connect to a cellular tower.
Important NOTE: To use Ethernet or WiFi, you will most likely have to provide your IT department the MacAddress to gain access to the network. The Mac Address information is below. Using your NeST # for your device, you can easily build your Mac Address information.
Your NeST MAC Address can be found in the Admin app under Settings (gear icon bottom) >> Devices >> Setup. MAC addresses are in the format: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
Ethernet is assigned:
42:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz where vv:ww:xx:yy:zz are zero-padded and generated from the serial number. Device 12345 would become: 42:12:34:50:00:00WiFi MAC is assigned similarly, with the prefix being 46 instead of 42. So, 12345’s WiFi MAC would be 46:12:34:50:00:00.
Scorebird has set out to change the way that fans engage with their favorite teams by providing access to live scores at all times, regardless of location.
