Automatic Naming; Determining Your Development Computer's Network Configuration - Matrox Iris GT with MIL Manual

Configuring your network 29

Automatic naming

Each Matrox Iris GT must have a unique name on the network. By default, Matrox
Iris GT automatically uses a unique network name:
IRIS999999
The last six hexadecimal digits of your Matrox Iris GT's MAC address are used as
the numeric part of the network name. This ensures that each Matrox Iris GT has
a unique network name. Both the network name of your Matrox Iris GT and its
MAC address are written on stickers on your Matrox Iris GT. This automatic
name can be used instead of an IP address when you try to access your Matrox
Iris GT.
❖ Throughout the documentation IrisName is used whenever you should use the
name or the IP address of your Matrox Iris GT.
Determining your development computer's network
