Updating the
Network Address
Property
The Network Address is a user-defined address that is used to replace the
MAC address that was originally assigned to the adapter. In some
operating systems, this property is called Locally Administered Address.
The network address consists of a 12-digit hexadecimal number.
To change the Network Address property, do the following:
1. Access the Advanced tab:
For Windows Server 2003 Operating systems, see “Selecting the
Advanced Tab in Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP” on
page 58.
For Windows 7 Operating systems, see “Selecting the Advanced
Tab in Windows 7” on page 61.
For Windows Vista Operating systems, see “Selecting the
Advanced Tab in Windows Vista” on page 63.
The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 30 on page 60.
2. From the Property list on the Advanced tab, select Network Address.
3. In the Value list on the Advanced tab, enter the Locally Administered
Address. Here are some guidelines:
The range is 0000 0000 0001 to FFFF FFFF FFFD.
Do not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high
byte = 1).
Do not use all 0's or all F's.
4. If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter
properties to take effect, rebooting is recommended to reinitialize all
registers.
5. Verify that the port LEDs are operating correctly. See one of the
following descriptions:
“AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2712LX20/SC Adapters Physical
Descriptions” on page 17
