hardware address.
Menu Administration/Communications/Resident NIC/CrownNet/
Common/HW Address
Administration/Communications/Optional NIC/CrownNet/
Common/HW Address
Choices 00000000-7FFFFFFF
Default FFFFFFFF
Effectivity The CrownNet interface must be reset for changes to take
effect. Use the Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/
CrownNet/Common/Soft Reset menu (where
xxxxxxxx is
either Resident or Optional).
Notes The hardware address is printed on the printer’s start-up page.
If the HW Address value is the default FFFFFFFF, the physical
address is the QMS S/N 080086
xxxxxx for Ethernet or
100061
xxxxxx for Token-Ring.
Ethernet addresses begin with “0200.” These numbers are not
displayed on the printer control panel, and they may not be
changed. For example, if the HW Address is set to 12341234,
the physical Ethernet address of the printer is actually
020012341234.
Token-Ring addresses begin with “1000”. These numbers are
not displayed on the printer control panel. When the address is
changed from the default, the Token-Ring address begins with
“4000” For example, if HW Address is set to 43214321, the
Token-Ring hardware address of the printer will be
400043214321.
