  • Page 46: Ethernet Interface

    For registration and identification of a workstation in a LAN, a unique ID number is required. Each network card is assigned an unique ID number, which resides in an Ethernet address ROM on the VP7. This ID number can be viewed by a software utility. The VP7 BIOS setup provides permission of an Ethernet boot option.
