Each board is given a user−specified name up to eight characters in length. The system is told which type it is, and the Ethernet
address, in hexadecimal, as shown on the back of the controller chassis. The Ethernet address was furnished by Xerox Corp.
and is unique world−wide. If the board is redundant, the address of the second unit is entered.
Important: Row numbers on Jupiter tables are used as the “logical” numbers for devices. Changing the row num-
ber of an existing device (by inserting/deleting a new controller board in the middle of the table, for example) will
disrupt control of the system, requiring controller boards to be memory−cleared and reset (see “Clearing Bat-
tery−Protected Memory” in Appendix B). One way to avoid this interruption is to add new devices at the end of
tables.
