It does have an ethernet port. The device reads a human generated config file that sets it's ip and Mac address. Sometimes the file gets fat fingered and the Mac or ip or both can get messed up. I have thought about hooking up tcpdump or wireshark but I wasn't sure if there was a "hey what are you" request that I didn't know about. I could spam arp requests and see if I get a hit but depending on how fat they fingered the file it could take longer then just ripping apart the device to get to the console port. Luckily the new ones have the console port accessible from the outside.
