MegaVision Network Management System - Manual (Page 54)

Alias Manager
MegaVision allows you to assign aliases to MAC addresses, easing identification of network
devices and stations. Each network device (a workstation, switch, hub, printer, etc) has it’s
own unique 12 hexadecimal digit MAC-Address. This MAC-Address is associated with the
network interface, used to connect the device. The first 6 digits denote the device vendor. The
user may assign an alias to any complete MAC address or the 6-digit vendor code. The Alias
manager includes the 6-digit vendor codes for most vendors. Once an alias defined it will be
shown in many MegaVision windows instead of raw MAC-address.
