Change MAC ID
A device Media Access Control Identifier (MAC ID) represents the device address on the DeviceNet network. The MAC ID range is 0 to 63. If multiple devices use the same MAC ID, only one device can work properly. To resolve a MAC ID conflict, you must change the device MAC ID.
Complete the following steps to change the MAC ID:
- Select Device»Change MAC ID.
- Enter the new MAC ID and click OK. After you change the MAC ID, the configurator uploads all parameters from the device.

Note Some devices do not support changing the MAC ID via software. In this case, you must change the MAC ID via a hardware switch. Refer to the device manual for more information. |
