Guralp Systems CMG-DCM build <10,000 - Manual (Page 56)

CMG-EAM (Platinum Firmware)
The first link on this screen takes you to the configuration page for the
first physical network interface. If your hardware has multiple
physical interfaces, you may need to create configurations for them
using the “Create a new interface” button. Once created, the can be
configured in an identical manner to eth0, as described below.
6.1.1 Configurable parameters in standard mode
The configuration form is large and is shown here in parts.
The first field, Device, is not editable. It displays the name of the
network interface being configured.
The MAC address field is also not editable. It shows the Media Access
Control address of the adapter's hardware. It is often useful to know
this when configuring DHCP servers: by binding an IP address to a
particular MAC address, the DHCP administrator can ensure that the
device retains the same IP address across reboots.
The Description field allows the operator to modify the description of
this interface in configuration dialogues and error messages. This is of
limited value when there is only a single interface but, for example,
when a CMG-NAM has multiple interfaces, it may be useful to rename
them in order to reflect their logical function rather than their physical
position.
