Ethernet address in this procedure if the factory-assigned internet address is corrupted. NOTE GE highly recommends using a ‘private’ LAN to connect Unity products. The purpose of the Unity Network is to connect only Unity devices for the exchange of patient data and room-to-room communication.
Calculate internet address To generate an internet address from an Ethernet address, GE simply converts the last three bytes of the Ethernet address from hex to decimal. This combines the unique identifier along with the network ID to produce the entire internet address.
