Gateway
Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external
networks. If you wish to use a gateway, you can configure the
relevant parameter via the TPR Control Center or the InterCon-
NetTool.
Hardware Address
The TPR is addressable by means of its world-wide unique hardware
address. This address is commonly referred to as the MAC or
Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this address in the
hardware of the device. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal
numbers. The first six numbers represent the manufacturer, while
the last six numbers identify the individual device.
The hardware address can be found on the housing, the InterCon-
NetTool, the status or service page.
The use of separators within the hardware address depends on the
platform. Note the following conventions when entering the
hardware address:
Host Name

identifies the TPR in the network and makes it easier to remember.
