Net Address

LANAID identifies the 3C389 PC Card to be configured by
its universally administered address, which was assigned
at the factory. The universally administered address (also
known as the net address or MAC address) of the
3C389 PC Card is shown on the back of the card.
Ensure that the address shown by LANAID is the same as
the address on the 3C389 PC Card. It may be necessary
to remove one or more PC Cards to allow LANAID to find
the 3C389 PC Card to be configured.
