Note for Servicing of the PC Control Unit (X17-1100-11)
Each unit of VRS-N8100 has its own MAC (Media Access Control) address.
The MAC address is written in IC202 of the PC Control Unit. This means that replacing the PC Control Unit or IC202 results in
changing the MAC address of the unit. Therefore, when the PC Control Unit or IC202 is replaced, the user should be informed of
the new MAC address. Also, the new MAC address should be recorded and maintained in the servicing record together with the
serial number of the unit.
The MAC address can be confirmed in item "IP" setting in the Setup Menu (Network Setup).
