3-19 GFK-1004B Chapter 3 The GEnet System Manager–Station Configuration
Each LAN Interface is delivered with a Default Station Address already set. There
are several ways to determine this value:
H Look at the label located on the LAN Interface
H Use the Station Manager NODE command.
H Press the Restart button to see the MAC address appear on the Local Station
Manager terminal screen (be sure the Station Manager terminal is connected to
the Interface).
The Default Station (MAC) Address is a globally administered address; the global
administration process assures that each default MAC address is unique. Your orga-
nization may have its own scheme of how addresses are administered. In this case
you will not use the default address, but will assign a different address from a set of
numbers established by your address administrator.
LOAD_GROUP - The number of the selected download group for the station. The Load
Group selects which multicast address is used when loading the station. The multi-
cast addresses and slot times are assigned to the Load Groups via the System Net-
work Parameters menu. Value may be 0 to 4 (default is 0).
Note
The LOAD_GROUP is only needed when more than one network GSM
is in use. Otherwise you can let this field stay at its default value.
COMMENTS - This field is optional, but may be used to insert a comment line up to 40
characters long for the station being configured. These comments will be displayed
on the List All Stations Screen.
Note
To keep a record of IP addresses you can add the IP address in the
COMMENTS field for each station .
