WWN and MAC Address Decoding

World Wide Names and MAC addresses contain a 24-bit Organization Unique Identifier (OUI). A
configuration file, OUI.txt, can be used to set the value of the 24-bit Organization Unique
Identifiers (OUI). This configuration file is available in the installation folder of the Xgig
Analyzer. 24-bit numbers found in the decode are mapped to the corresponding vendor name by
the Xgig applications. You can change the default OUI number mappings by editing the OUI.txt.
The content of the file is read at the Xgig applications startup. Open the file in a text editor for
more information.
It is also possible to disable the OUI vendor name decoding entirely using the
Decode Switch. Refer to
