[ANSS-netops] rt130 mac address

[Mike Hagerty]

How about using a packet sniffer (e.g., wireshark) to sniff out the packets coming out ?

Are you asking because you need to know the mac address in order to authenticate
the device on a network (e.g., to get an IP address assigned) ?

Seems like you'd have to sniff it out (or look at the DHCP logs, etc. to see who is asking
for an IP).  Of course, you'd have to be directly connected to the device if it's not on
the network yet ... or just look at the logs.

Hi there Mitch,

You will need to know the serial number of your RT506 board to determine
the Mac Address, this is in the SOH file once a day at least.

The MAC Address of 6 bytes is figured out as follows;

The first three bytes are assigned to REF TEK by IEEE: 00 01 89

The next three bytes are assigned by REF TEK.  Assigned based on board
number and board serial number.  Our current definition is:

((board number - 506) << 14) + board serial number

So RT506 s/n 513 would be: 00 01 89 00 02 01 & RT506 s/n 1519 would be: 00
01 89 00 05 EF

Let me know if you need more details

Does anyone know an easy way of determining the mac address for a reftek rt130?
