Media Access Control address – this is the unique and unchangeable code that was hard coded within your
UltraConsole Remote 2 unit when it was built. It consists of two 6-digit hexadecimal (base 16) numbers separated by
colons. A section of the MAC address identifies the manufacturer, while the remainder is effectively the unique
electronic serial number of your particular unit
Use DHCP/IP address/Net Mask/Gateway/VNC port/HTTP Port
1. You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway.
If you set the option to use DHCP, remote users must be informed of the IP address assigned so they can
remotely access the unit.
2. Change the IP Address to the IP address assigned to the unit by your network administrator
that is compatible with your network.
3. Change the Net Mask and Gateway addresses if needed.
4. The VNC and HTTP ports should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively, unless they clash with an existing
setup within the network.
