EDACS Addresses
There are two types of EDACS Addresses, Logical IDs (LIDs) and Group IDs (GIDs). LIDs are used to
reference a single host, radio, or TSI Master. GIDs are used to reference one or more radios. LIDs and GIDs are
programmed into radios and can be changed as desired.

ETHERNET Addresses
Ethernet Addresses are 64-bit addresses assigned by hardware vendors. Normally, an Ethernet Address is
permanently assigned to a hardware device. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) that is built into the
Internet Protocol allows devices to query each other for their Ethernet Address. For these reasons, Ethernet
Addresses are of minor importance when setting up a network, and are not discussed in detail.
