Using the Configuration Management System 49
Clearing the Ethernet The Ethernet Adapter supports up to 16 specific clients (for example, Client List computers and printers) and keeps track of the clients with a list of their
MAC addresses.
After the client limit is reached, you must clear the client list to allow a new client to associate with the network. For example, in a hub configuration with 16 clients connected, if you disconnect a desktop computer and connect a new laptop in its place, you must clear the client list to establish network association for the laptop.
To clear the Ethernet Client List:
1Disconnect a client by unplugging its Ethernet cable from the hub or the Ethernet Adapter.
2Launch the Configuration Management System.
3Under System Status, click Ethernet Client List.
4In the Ethernet Client List page, click Clear Client List.
The Ethernet Adapter erases the client list. Clients that remain connected to the Ethernet Adapter are added to the list automatically when they next interact with the network.
5Connect the new client by plugging its Ethernet cable into the hub or the Ethernet Adapter.
Viewing Connection Under System Summary, click Connection Status to view a summary of the Status Ethernet Adapter’s current connection information. See Table 8 on page 29
