RVON-8 RTS™ Voice Over Network Card

Addresses and the RVON-8 Card

Because the RVON-8 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) address.

This is a low level address that contains 48 bits. Do not confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol)

address. In order to be IP compliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufac-

turer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of hardware, such as the RVON-8 card, has a fixed or static address.

Whereas, the RVON-8 card’s IP address can change over time.

The MAC address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media.

The RVON-8 card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board that the processor can read the unique MAC

address from. For more information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
