Configuration
RemotEye III must be configured for proper operation on its network which can be done by three convenient
methods.
Preliminary Issues
RemotEye III is a network device. Several items should be considered prior to communicating with RemotEye III
over the network. The following sections cover important topics when placing a device on an Ethernet network.
MAC Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is an identification number which uniquely identifies each Ethernet device
on a network. The MAC address (sometimes called the physical address) is made up of 6 hexadecimal bytes.
A label marked with the MAC address is included with each RemotEye III. This label is affixed at the bottom of
every RemotEye III printed circuit board (See Figure 14: RemotEye III MAC Address Label).
Figure 14: RemotEye III MAC Address Label
For each RemotEye III, the MAC address is created using the following format: 00 E0 D8 LL MM NN. The first half
of this code, 00 E0 D8, identifies the manufacturer of the Ethernet board. Since every RemotEye III is produced by
the same manufacturer, these 3 hexadecimal bytes remain constant. The LL MM NN characters identify the serial
number of the device in hexadecimal form. The serial number is unique for each RemotEye III device.
Default IP Address
The RemotEye III is initially configured with a default Internet Protocol (IP) address. By default, the 4 bytes
composing the default IP address are derived from the MAC address in the following way:
172.18.xxx.yyy where xxx is the decimal value of the MM MAC address byte and yyy is the decimal value of the NN
MAC address byte.
Example: A RemotEye III MAC address of 00 E0 D8 0C 01 3F would have a default IP address of 172.18.1.63.
This places RemotEye III on a 172.18.0.0 IP network.
