Chapter 6: Setting Advanced Properties
Network Address
68
The Network Address is a user-defined address that is used to replace the
MAC address that was originally assigned to the adapter. The network
address consists of a 12-digit hexadecimal number.
To change the Locally Administered Address property, do the following:
1. Access the Device Manger for your operating system.
To access the Windows XP Device Manager, see "Selecting the
Device Manager Window" on page 47.
To access the Windows Vista Device Manager, see "Selecting the
Device Manager" on page 39.
To access the Windows 7 Device Manager, see "Selecting the
Device Manager Window" on page 54.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 31 on page 64.
3. From the Property list on the Advanced tab, select Network Address.
4. In the Value list on the Advanced tab, enter the Locally Administered
Address.
Here are some guidelines:
The range is 0000 0000 0001 to FFFF FFFF FFFD.
Do not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high
byte = 1).
Do not use all 0's or all F's.
5. Click OK.
6. If prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter
properties to take effect, rebooting is recommended to reinitialize all
registers.
7. Verify that the port LED operates as described in "Physical
Description" on page 20.
