Configuration; Preliminary Issues - Toshiba RemoteEye II User Manual

Configuration

RemotEye II must be configured for proper operation on its network. The RemotEye
II offers three convenient methods for configuration.

Preliminary Issues

RemotEye II is a network device. Several items should be considered prior to
communicating with RemotEye II over the network. The following sections cover
important topics when placing a device on an Ethernet network.
MAC Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is an identification number which uniquely
identifies each Ethernet device on a network. The MAC address (sometimes called
the physical address) is made up of 6 hexadecimal bytes.
A label marked with the MAC address is included with each RemotEye II. This label
is affixed to the bottom of every RemotEye II /External, and this label is affixed to the
top of every RemotEye II /Internal printed circuit board.
For each RemotEye II, the MAC address is created using the following format: 00 E0
D8 LL MM NN. The first half of this code, 00 E0 D8, identifies the manufacturer of
the Ethernet board. Since every RemotEye II is produced by the same manufacturer,
these 3 hexadecimal bytes remain constant. The LL MM NN characters identify the
serial number of the device in hexadecimal form. The serial number is unique for
each RemotEye II device.
