Figure 6-2. Sample Ethernet station addresses
In the sample display, lines that contain enet: in parenthesis
at the end of the line show Ethernet station addresses. The
number of the base or option slot containing that Ethernet
connector appears at the beginning of the line.
The display in Figure 6-2 shows two Ethernet station addresses:
The line that starts with 6: contains the first Ethernet
address: 08-00-2b-0f-45-72. The number 6 at the
beginning of this line shows that the Ethernet connector
with this address is in base slot 6, the location of the
ThinWire Ethernet connector.
The second Ethernet address appears on the line that starts
with 2:. The Ethernet connector with this address — 08-
00-2b-0f-45-31
— is in option slot 2. Ethernet modules in
option slots are always ThickWire modules.
