Completing the Ethernet Installation
The network coordinator must complete the installation. You must
give the following information to the network coordinator:
• A unique node name comprised of a maximum of six
alphanumeric characters.
Choose a node name and ask the network coordinator to make
sure that the node name is unique on the network.
• The system's Ethernet address
To determine the system's Ethernet address, follow these steps:
1. Enter the following command at the console prompt:
>>>SHOW ETHERNET
The system displays a response similar to the following:
ETHERNET = 08-00-2B-1A-0B-BB
The alphanumeric string, shown in the form nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn, is
the Ethernet address.
2. Write down the Ethernet address and give it to the network
coordinator.
