Installation of the RVON-C Card into the Cronus System

CAUTION: When inserting the RVON-C card into the Cronus system, the following considerations must be made:
• Gently insert the RVON-C card into the correct slot. If the card is forced or twisted while inserting, a pin
on the backplane could short or break causing the card to become inoperable.
• When inserting the RVON-C card into the Cronus system, make sure to insert it into a compatible
backcard. If the card is inserted into a incompatible backcard, undesirable results can occur.

Addresses and the RVON-C Card

Because the RVON-C has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) address. This is a low
level address that contains 48 bits. Do not confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. In order to be IP
compliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufacturer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of
hardware, such as the RVON -C card, has a fixed or static address. Whereas, the RVON-C card's IP Address can change over
time.
The MAC Address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media. The RVON-C
card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board so that the processor can read the unique MAC Address. For more
information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
