Station Address Coding

Thumbwheel Settings

CAUTION

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

In an Ethernet network, there must only be one MAC address for each station. Before modifying these addresses you must check that they comply with the addressing plan of the carrier. If two devices have the same MAC address, information may be sent to the wrong destination.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Four thumbwheels, which can be accessed from the front panel, are used to encode the network number and the station number.

Here is the range of possible coding values in hexadecimal:

Network Number	Station Number
0 to 7F	0 to 3F

For example:

Network 3: 16#03

Station 27: 16#1B

The thumbwheels are to be adjusted as follows:

0	PF
3	Pf
1	PF
B	Pf
