Enable BCP/NetBEUI MAC Address Pool
Certain protocols require that the 833IS emulate a LAN adapter and supply a MAC
address on behalf of the Dial-In Client. This option allows you to define a pool of 16
MAC addresses, starting at the Base MAC Address defined below.
If you are using NetBEUI, you must enable this pool. For more details, see “Using
NetBEUI” on page 133. If you are using BCP, the Client MAC address can be
obtained from the User record or the pool. See “Configuring the Bridge Function
(BCP)” on page 126 for more details.
Base MAC Address
This is the base address for the MAC Address Pool. The address is a 12 hex digit
value that ends in 00. The legal values are 400000000000 to 40FFFFFFFF00 for
Token Ring. You can use the default provided from a special manufacturer's range.
However, all Perle 833IS units share this default range, so the value should be
changed if you are using multiple units on your network that have Enable BCP/
Netbeui MAC Address Pool enabled.
