Ethernet (MAC) Address Factory-set The Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address is also known
as the link-level address, the Ethernet (station) address, the LANIC
ID, and hardware address. This is a unique 48-bit address assigned
by the manufacturer for each Ethernet device.
The Ethernet (MAC) address is usually in 12 hexadecimal
characters, with colon or dash separators between every two
characters, such as 00:30:D3:05:00:23 or
00-30-D3-05-00-23. The Ethernet (MAC) address is printed
on a label at the bottom panel of the E5810B.
Password E5810 E5810B configuration and instrument control pages are
password-protected against changes. To change from the default
password (or any password) to a new one, enter the current (old)
password in the Configured Value column and enter the new
password in both boxes in the Edit Configuration column of the
Configuring your E5810B LAN/GPIB/USB Gateway page.
You do not need to use a password for SICL or VISA programs with
the E5810B interface. This administrative password is not for
security purposes and will not prevent unauthorized personnel
from using the E5810B. The password will only prevent
inadvertent changes to the E5810B interface settings or control of
instruments attached to the E5810B. It is not intended to provide a
strong level of security for either the interface or the
attached network.
