Base MAC Address
This is the base address for the MAC Address Pool. The address is a 12 hex digit
value that ends in 00. The legal values are 020000000000 to 02FFFFFFFF00 for
Ethernet. You can use the default provided from a special manufacturer's range.
However, all Perle 833IS units share this default range, so the value should be
changed if you are using multiple units on your network that have
Enable BCP/
Netbeui MAC Address Pool enabled.
Configure the Token Ring LAN Interface
The Token Ring LAN interface configuration screen is as follows:
Server MAC Address
This specifies the MAC address used by the Token Ring interface for the server.
Use Burned In Address
The burned in MAC address was allocated from a range assigned to the 833IS. It is
guaranteed to be unique from all other burned in MAC addresses. In most
installations this address should be used.
Override MAC Address
If you wish to explicitly assign the MAC address, select Override MAC address and
enter the address in the field below. The address format is 12 characters hex. This
address will be restricted by the Manager to a Locally Administered Token Ring
address. This address has bit 7 of the most significant byte set to 0 and bit 6 of the
most significant byte set to 1. For example, addresses starting with 40, 50, 60, 70, 41,
51... are legal.
