    • Usual Location : 0904 R-0U18
    • Manufacturer : CAEN
    • Model / Type : SY4527
    • Operating System : OTHER
    • Responsible for the Device : RESSEGOTTI MARTINA
    • Card Type : ETHERNET

    Finding the Hardware Address

    • Connect the mainframe directly to a pc or laptop using a network cable.
    • Open a web browser and type the default IP address of the mainframe (Refer the device catalogue).
    • Login to the device by entering the credentials
    • Go to 'Settings' menu and select 'Network Settings'.
    • Hardware address is under the 'MAC address'

  3. Submit the request and the confirmation will be received within one or two days. Leave the mainframe on and ensure that the mainframe is connected to the CERN network.

  4. If logging into the mainframe remotely is required please follow 'Remote Connection to the Mainframe' section.
