This identifies the GE device producing

the EGD data. Although in decimal dot

format, it is not an IP address and does

not necessarily correspond to the IP

address of the GE-Ethernet port

producing the message. It corresponds

to the producer ID configured for the

CPU producing the data.

Any change to the producerID must be

a packet of EGD data. Thus, the
