297-8991-910 Standard 03.01 August 1999
EIU MAC addresses
By industry convention, MAC addresses for networking devices are unique
worldwide. In typical networking devices, the MAC address is burned into a
PROM on the circuit pack. However, for EIUs on the DMS-100 switch, the
CARDINFO see subfields
Card information
This field specifies the card data and
consists of subfield APPLPEC.
APPLPEC NT9X84AA
Application product engineering code
Enter the PEC of the application card.
Card NT9X84AA is used with EIU
applications.
This field consists of subfields PBPED,
HEARTBEAT, and MAC_ADDRESS.
PBPEC NT9X85AA
or
NT9X85BA
Paddle board product engineering code
Enter one of the PECs.
Enter NT9X85AA for EIU coax
applications.
Enter NT9X85BA for EIU unshielded
twisted pair applications.
HEARTBEAT YES or NO
Heartbeat
Enter YES if the EIU expects a
heartbeat indication signal from the
media access unit (MAU) connected to
it; otherwise, enter NO.
Yes is allowed only if the MAU supports
heartbeat of signal quality error (SQE)
MAC_
ADDRESS
000075F00000 to
000075FFFFFF
Media access control address
Enter a 12-character hex string
representing the MAC address.
The MAC address is represented in
hexadecimal without any spaces
between digits. The MAC_ADDRESS
must be of the form 000075Fxxxxx.
MAC addresses for EIUs are defined by
Nortel. Refer to “Appendix I: Obtaining a
MAC address” for more information on
MAC addresses.
