Configuration
RemotEye II must be configured for proper operation on its network. The RemotEye II offers three
convenient methods for configuration.
Preliminary Issues
RemotEye II is a network device. Several items should be considered prior to communicating with
RemotEye II over the network. The following sections cover important topics when placing a device on
an Ethernet network.
MAC Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is an identification number which uniquely identifies each
Ethernet device on a network. The MAC address (sometimes called the physical address) is made up of
6 hexadecimal bytes.
A label marked with the MAC address is included with each RemotEye II. This label is affixed to the
bottom of every RemotEye II /External, and this label is affixed to the top of every RemotEye II /Internal
printed circuit board.
For each RemotEye II, the MAC address is created using the following format: 00 E0 D8 LL MM NN. The
first half of this code, 00 E0 D8, identifies the manufacturer of the Ethernet board. Since every RemotEye
II is produced by the same manufacturer, these 3 hexadecimal bytes remain constant. The LL MM NN
characters identify the serial number of the device in hexadecimal form. The serial number is unique for
each RemotEye II device.
