Viewing the Instrument Ethernet Address 2-36.
Perform the procedure in Figure 2-28 to view the Instrument Ethernet address.
(See Figure 2-29 for examples.) The network administrator must know the
instrument Ethernet address when the instrument operates on a general network.
You do not need this information when you operate the instrument on an isolated
network. For your convenience, record the Ethernet address inside the rear cover
of this manual.
•
Ethernet Address Format The Ethernet address is a 12-digit hexadecimal
number. For example, 00:80:40:12:34:56. The first 6 hexadecimal digits
represent a manufacturer, for example, 00:80:40 represents Fluke
Corporation. The remaining digits are a sequential number assigned during
manufacturing. Ethernet addresses are always unique; they are never altered,
reused, or duplicated.
•
Ethernet Address Display The Ethernet address display consists of six 2-
digit segments: Eadr 0 to Eadr 5. In the example above, Eadr0=00, Eadr1=80,
Eadr2=40, Eadr3=12, Eadr4=34, Eadr5=56.
