Mac address

[John Williams]

I guess I am being unusually dense on this. 

To change the mac address do I simply bump the last digit shown and press set, or must I convert the actual hexadecimal to decimal and then input the new value and press set? I believe the original value is DD in hex. So do I input a 222 in decimal to set it to DE in hex? Do I have to calculate both values in the boxes or just the least significant box? The next value is 13 in hex or 19 in decimal.

Hi John,

it has been been a very long time, good to hear from you, I've not change a mac address in a long time and need to do some work to plug a radio in. I don't remember displaying them in hex so if they are all in decimal, that is what you need.  You need to re power the radio and at least do a discovery after( if not restart spark). If you have realy old firmware maybe you need to update that first. I'll have a better look tomorrow.

It shows zero on both fields. Too bad that it doesn't read the current values. That would be more intuitive.

Just looked at the code and it is definitely decimal you enter for the last two digits.
