Table 9 System Properties Page

Property	Description	Default Value
Device Name	This name appears in the System	RoamAbout Ethernet
	Summary window. You can change the	Adapter - RBTSA
	default name to one of your choice.
Device Location	If you use the default device name,	None
	entering the location is optional.
Client Mode	This setting allows the Ethernet Adapter	Support multiple wired
	to support single or multiple Ethernet	Ethernet clients
	clients attached to the Ethernet Adapter.
	Support Single Wired Ethernet Client is
	used only when the Ethernet Adapter is
	used for replacement of a Enterasys
	Networks Ethernet Client Ethernet
	Adapter. Select a MAC option:
	■ Capture: Each time the Ethernet
	Adapter is powered on, it captures its
	MAC address from the first packet it
	receives on the Ethernet port. The
	Ethernet Adapter detects and uses
	the same MAC address as the device
	plugged into the Ethernet port.
	The Ethernet Adapter uses the
	previously captured MAC address
	upon power-on until the first packet
	is received on the Ethernet port.
	■ Dynamic: The Ethernet Adapter
	changes its MAC address each time
	the device plugged into the Ethernet
	port changes.
	The Ethernet Adapter detects the
	MAC address of the device plugged
	into the Ethernet port and uses that
	as its own. The Ethernet Adapter uses
	the built-in MAC address upon
	power-on until a packet is received
	on the Ethernet port.
	■ Built-in: The Ethernet Adapter uses
	the manufacturing radio MAC
	address as default.
