Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA)

Network Administrator Tip

Each token-ring network interface card comes with a unique,

pre-assigned MAC address printed on its faceplate and set at the factory.

The following procedure allows you to use locally administered

addresses (LAA) instead of the factory value. Resetting the printer to

factory defaults sets the LAA back to the MAC address. IBM

recommends that you contact your network administrator before you

change the MAC address because each LAA must be unique on the

network.

To change the LAA address for the printer:

1.

Press the

Online

key to take the printer offline.

2.

Press the

Menu

key until the operator panel displays TOKEN RING

MENU.

3.

Press the

Item

key until the operator panel displays MAC ADDRESS.

4.

Press the

Enter

key. For a new printer whose MAC address has not yet

been changed, the operator panel displays the unique MAC address that

came with the card, for example:

MAC ADDRESS 01< 04-AC-9A-00-00

The “<” indicates the value you can change at this point. Notice that the

first pair of values (01, in this case) is shown on the same line as “MAC

ADDRESS”.

5.

Press the

Value

key. The asterisk (*) goes away and the value is

incremented by one. The range of the address values is zero to 255 hex
