Appendix B. Driver Notes
Appendix B.1. Setting the FieldServer’s ControlNet MAC ID
The MAC ID can be set in the FieldServer’s CSV file using the System_Station_Address,
(refer to Section 4.1), or it can be set with the two rotary switches as indicated on the
connection diagram. The left switch selects the left decimal digit and the right switch the
right decimal digit of the MAC ID.
Note that the software setting with the System_Station_Address overrides the hardware
setting with the rotary switches. Set the rotary switches to zero or to the same value as in
the System_Station_Address to prevent the warning LED from flashing. A mismatch will still
result in the software setting being used.
Appendix B.2. Using the Network Access Port
The Network Access Port (NAP) should only be used temporarily to connect a network
configuration tool. It must not be used to connect to the main ControlNet network.
