Getting Started Guide

Viewing the Device Ethernet Address

Perform the procedure in below to view the Device Ethernet address. (See Figure 5 for examples.) The network administrator must know the device Ethernet address when the device operates on a general network. You do not need this information when you operate the device on an isolated network.

Ethernet Address Format The Ethernet address is a 12 digit hexadecimal number. For example, 00:80:40:12:34:56. The first 6 hexadecimal digits represent a manufacturer, for example, 00:80:40 represents Fluke Corporation. The remaining digits are a sequential number assigned during manufacturing. Ethernet addresses are always unique; they are never altered, reused, or duplicated.

Ethernet Address Display The Ethernet address display consists of six 2 digit segments: Eadr 0 to Eadr 5. In the example above, Eadr0=00, Eadr1=80, Eadr2=40, Eadr3=12, Eadr4=34, Eadr5=56.

Table 8. Viewing the Device Ethernet Address

Press the COMM key to open the communications display because this is a review process only.

Press the up/down arrow keys until EAdr (Ethernet Address) appears in

the primary display (comm appears in the secondary display).

Press the ENTER key. Eadr0 appears in the secondary display, the first 5 digits of the Ethernet address appears in the primary display (always 00.80.4).

Press the left/right arrow keys to display each byte: Eadr0 (always 00),

Eadr1 (always 80), Eadr2 (always 40), then Eadr3, Eadr4 and Eadr5.

Press the COMM key again to exit. Record the Ethernet address inside the rear cover of this manual.
