020000000000 will be displayed as the node address. If you
entered 040000000000, 060000000000 will be displayed as the
node address. This is best understood when the digits are con-
verted into binary. Each hexadecimal digit of a MAC address is
represented by 4 binary characters. The digit 2 is represented as
0010, i.e., bit 2 of the most significant byte is set to 1. The digit 4
is represented as 0100 in binary, so this would be converted to
0110 (or 6 in decimal) so that bit 2 of the most significant byte
could be set. Note that this only affects the second digit of the
MAC address.
For Windows users, the Node Override parameter is only visible
in the Advanced tab of the RangeLAN2 Card’s properties screen.
