Example: "Address Link Label"
• The "Address Link Label" contains the MAC address (Media Access Control address) of the device and
makes it possible to enter the IP address and the device name manually.
The area of the "Address Link Label" on which the MAC address is printed can be separated from the
remainder of the stick-on label if necessary using the perforation.
• The "Address Link Label" can be removed from the device and affixed in the installation and layout dia-
grams to designate the device.
• Once it is affixed in the documents, the "Address Link Label" establishes a unique reference between
the mounting location, the MAC address or the device, and the associated control program.
There is no need for time-consuming searching, reading, and manually writing down of the MAC ad-
dresses of every device that is installed in the system.
