Local Engine ID (10 - 64 Hex Characters) — Indicates the local device engine ID. The field value is a
hexadecimal string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings is two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be

For stand-alone devices select a default Engine ID that is comprised of Enterprise number and the default MAC
address.
Use Default — Uses the device generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC
address and is defined per standard as:
