Configuration
RemotEye II must be configured for proper operation on its network. The RemotEye
II offers three convenient methods for configuration.
Preliminary Issues
RemotEye II is a network device. Several items should be considered prior to
communicating with RemotEye II 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 II. This label
is affixed to the bottom of every RemotEye II /External, and this label is affixed to the
top of every RemotEye II /Internal printed circuit board.
For each RemotEye II, 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 II 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 II device.
