Description
■
detect
Your WaveLAN/EC-S device will try to retrieve the MAC
Address of the computer terminal or peripheral device
connected to its Ethernet interface, each time when the
WaveLAN/EC-S device and/or the connected device is
powered up.
Use this option if you plan to swap the WaveLAN/EC-S
device frequently between multiple devices that require
a network connection
■
detect save
Your WaveLAN/EC-S device will remember a detected
MAC Address and start operation using this address
immediately after the computer is powered-up, or re-
activated from sleep-mode.
This is the preferred option if you do not intend to swap
the WaveLAN/EC-S device between multiple
computers.
■
built-in
Select this value if you wish to set the WaveLAN/EC-S
device to use the MAC Address value of the inserted
WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card.
Use this option only in situations where you intend to
connect a single computing device via the Serial RS-
232 port without using the 10Base-T port.
This option may disrupt regular LAN communication to
devices connected via the 10Base-T interface.
This setting equals the value “Universal” as displayed in
the WaveMANAGER/EC program (see page 3-9).
■
xxxxxxxxxxxx When you are running a network operating system that
requires you to assign dedicated MAC Address values
to networking devices, you can also enter a 12-digit
hexadecimal value, representing the Local MAC
Address.
