The PRAESENSA system controller has two MAC‑addresses:
–
–
Both the MAC and the C MAC addresses are shown on the product label of the system
controller. The C MAC‑address is the physical address that is needed for IP‑binding.
If the product label is inaccessible, then the following steps 1‑3 will make the C MAC‑address
known. If the C MAC‑address is already known these steps can be skipped.

The device MAC‑address. This is the MAC‑address, where the device hostname is derived
from, using the format 'PRASCL‑xxxxxx', with xxxxxx being the last six hexadecimal digits
of the device MAC‑address.
The control C MAC‑address. This is the physical address that is linked to the control
hostname, although the control hostname itself is just the device hostname with an
extension '‑ctrl.local'. This 'PRASCL‑xxxxxx‑ctrl.local' is the URL of the webserver in the
system controller. The same control hostname is also used for the Open Interface.
The device hostname can be learned from the system configuration, in the System
composition web page, or from the Firmware upload tool. The control hostname is the
device hostname extended with '‑ctrl.local'.
Then 'ping' to the control hostname of the system controller from the Windows Command
Prompt with a PC that is on the same network as the system controller and has an
IP‑address in the same range, and supporting DNS‑SD.
– For example, the system controller with control hostname PRASCL‑0b4864‑ctrl.local
appears to have an IP‑address 169.254.164.232. Hostnames are case-insensitive.
The control C MAC‑address that belongs to this IP‑address will be added into the ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) table of the PC. Enter the command 'arp -a' to look into
this table. Look for the IP‑address that was found by pinging the control hostname,
169.254.164.232, and check its Physical Address: 00‑1c‑44‑0b‑50‑32. This is the C
MAC‑address of this system controller.
