You can use any of the following methods to separate the characters in the address:

• Hyphens (for example: aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff)

• Periods (for example: aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff)

• Colons (for example: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)

• Spaces (for example: aa bb cc dd ee ff)

• No spaces (for example: aabbccddeeff)

To find more than one address, use question marks as wildcard characters (for example:

aa-bb-cc-dd-??-??).
