10.3 Configuring the 2560A Ethernet Settings
MAC Address
The MAC address is a unique ID number assigned to an Ethernet card installed in a device. It is 12
characters long, with each character ranging from a to f and 0 to 9. MAC addresses are expressed in
octets in hexadecimal notation.
If the MAC address is 00.00.12.34.56.78, the second to the sixth octets are shown as follows: the
deviation display shows 00.12, and the output display shows 34.56.78. The first octet is not shown.
Note
Only use a single communication interface: USB, GP-IB, or Ethernet. If you send commands simultaneously
from more than one communication interface, the 2560A will not execute the commands properly.
