Question :

How do I find the Unique ID Number+ or MAC address for my 8000-series oscilloscope?

Answer :

To access this information the Ethernet/ LAN port must be enabled. If the Ethernet/ LAN port is not enabled, please refer to FAQ #1123. This FAQ has the procedure for enabling the Ethernet/ LAN.

For the DSA8200, and 8000-series oscilloscopes with XP:

  • Select Utilities
  • Select System Properties
  • The Unique ID number is under the Mainframe tab.

For 8000-series oscilloscopes with Win2K:

For products with SW version 2.4.0.5 (and with the Ethernet/ LAN port enabled), the unique ID number can be accessed using the following procedure:

  • Select Utility
  • Select Option Installation
  • Select Continue
  • The Unique ID number will be listed if the Ethernet/ LAN port is enabled.

For 8000-series oscilloscopes with Win2K with SW version below 2.4.0.5:

Once the Ethernet/ LAN port is enabled, the procedure to access the Unique ID number, or MAC address, is below:

  • Connect keyboard and mouse to the scope

  • Select Windows “START” button in the bottom left hand corner of the display
  • Select “ RUN ” from drop down menu
  • Type “cmd” and select enter
  • Type “ipconfig /all” and select enter
