The control processor is assigned a unique user hardware ID number (MAC address) (for example,
00-05-A6-05-1C-A0). You may need this address during configuration of the control processor. A
label that indicates the MAC address is located on the rear panel of the unit.
NOTE:
The supported serial formats vary depending on the COM port,
as shown at right.
