C. Replace xxyy with the last four digits of the hardware
address. Use only valid hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F); do
not use the hyphens that separate the numbers. (You will
find the hardware address on a label affixed to the printed
circuit board of the SLC 5/05 processor. Note: See page
1–2 for an illustration showing the location of the hardware
address.)

Example
In this example, there are three SLC 5/05 processors and an HP 9000
programming terminal. The names and hardware addresses are
device specific:
Device Name IP Address Hardware Address
SLC 5/05 sigma1 12.34.56.1 00–00–BC–1D–12–34
SLC 5/05 sigma2 12.34.56.2 00–00–BC–1D–56–78
SLC 5/05 sigma3 12.34.56.3 00–00–BC–1D–90–12
