Devices & IP Allocations

An IP allocation is a record that ties a device to a specific IP address within a pool. When you allocate an IP, you’re documenting which device owns that address.

Adding a device

From the pool detail view, tap an unallocated IP to assign it. Fill in the device details:

Field	Required	Notes
Name	Yes	Device name or description
Icon	No	Picked from Netory’s built-in icon set
Room	No	Which room the device is in
MAC Address	No	The device’s hardware address
Notes	No	Anything useful to remember

Tap Save to record the allocation.

Device icons

Icons help you identify device types at a glance. Netory includes icons for common device types: routers, switches, computers, phones, printers, cameras, smart home devices, and more.

Finding a device’s MAC address

The MAC address is useful for router configuration and troubleshooting. Here’s where to find it:

iPhone/iPad: Settings → General → About → Wi-Fi Address

Android: Settings → About Phone → Status → Wi-Fi MAC Address

Mac: System Settings → Network → Wi-Fi → Details → Hardware Address

Windows: Settings → Network & Internet → Properties → Physical address (MAC)

Router admin page: Most routers list connected devices with their MAC addresses in the DHCP client table.

Viewing device details

Tap an allocated IP to open the device info sheet. This shows:

Device name and icon
IP address
Pool name and range
Room (if assigned)
MAC address (if set)
Notes (scrollable if long)

Tap the edit button to update any field.

Editing a device

From the device info sheet, tap the edit (pencil) icon. All fields can be updated at any time.

Removing an allocation

From the pool detail view, swipe left on an allocated IP to remove the device record. The IP becomes unallocated and available for reassignment.
