Identifying the MAC Hardware
Address
When everything is verified for proper setup in the
previous steps, you can program the IP address of the
D6680. The first step is to find and record the media
access control (MAC) or hardware address of the
D6680.
The MAC address is a hardware address
that uniquely identifies each node of a
network.
The MAC address is hard-coded into the D6680 during
its manufacture and cannot be changed. This address is
6 bytes (12 digits) in length and is located on a label on
the D6680 under the words 'Ethernet Address.'

You should record this 12-digit number for
future reference.
3.3
Obtaining an IP Address
Provide the MAC address of the D6680 to the network
administrator, who will assign an IP address for the
D6680. An IP Address is an identifier for a computer
or device on a transmission control protocol/internet
protocol (TCP/IP) network. Networks use the TCP/IP
protocol route messages based on the IP address of the
destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit
numeric address written as four numbers or fields
separated by periods. Each number can be 0 to 255.
For example, 190.200.128.111 could be an IP address.
Within an isolated network, you can assign IP
addresses at random if each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires
using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses)
to avoid duplicates.

Initial Assignment of the IP Address
using ARP
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. recommends that you
read this entire step before beginning. Also, ensure that
power is applied to the D6680 and the Ethernet
Network RJ45 connection is in place.
The D6680 to be configured and the PC
used to configure it must be on the same
gateway (the device that connects the LAN
to the WAN) in order to connect into the
configuration program (the connection is
the process of using the telnet program to
communicate with the D6680 and establish
its communications configuration
parameters). After the D6680 is configured
and has an IP address, you can change the
telnet configuration parameters from
anywhere on the network.
The D6200 Software Operation and Installation Guide
(P/N: 4998154991) describes how to use the D6200
Programming Software to program network devices.
Using the D6200 Software is the recommended way to
program the network devices. If you choose to use the
software to program the network devices, skip to Section
3.6 Programming Overview for the D6600 on page 12 after
referring to the D6200 Programming Software Operation
and Installation Guide (P/N: 4998154991).
When you have the IP address, and the network
administrator confirms that it is ready, open the
MS-DOS prompt on the host computer on the network
to be used. You need to use the address resolution
protocol (ARP) program to assign a new IP address for
the D6680.
ARP is a program used to create a temporary
association between an IP address and a hardware
address, such as a MAC. Microsoft Windows

C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT directory (depending on
your operating system) by default during the
installation of the operating system as shown in
