Configure the Ethernet LAN Interface
The Ethernet LAN interface configuration screen is as follows:
Server MAC Address
This specifies the MAC address used by the Ethernet interface for the server.
Use Burned In Address
The burned in MAC address was allocated from a range assigned to the 833IS. It is
guaranteed to be unique from all other burned in MAC addresses. In most
installations this address should be used.
Override MAC Address
If you wish to explicitly assign the MAC address, select Override MAC address and
enter the address in the field below. The address format is 12 characters hex. This
address will be restricted by the Manager to a Locally Administered Ethernet
address. This address has bit 0 of the most significant byte set to 0 and bit 1 of the
most significant byte set to 1. For example, addresses starting with 02, 06, 0A, 0E,
12, 16... are legal.
Enable BCP/NetBEUI MAC Address Pool
Certain protocols require that the 833IS emulate a LAN adapter and supply a MAC
address on behalf of the Dial-In Client. This option allows you to define a pool of 16
MAC addresses, starting at the Base MAC Address defined below.
If you are using NetBEUI, you must enable this pool. For more details, see “Using
NetBEUI” on page 133. If you are using BCP, the Client MAC address can be
obtained from the User record or the pool. See “Configuring the Bridge Function
(BCP)” on page 126 for more details.
