RE: Node Address

["Mike Buglass" <list_receiver@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,
The address on the description is a "bit flipped" version of the local
adapter address. This is usually necessary if you are connecting between
token ring and ethernet via a router or bridge. Token ring writes the
address out in a different order to ethernet. In order to convert between
them,  first reverse the order of each pair of digits and then replace them
using the following conversions:

0    -    0
1    -    8
2    -    4
3    -    C
4    -    2
5    -    A
6    -    6
7    -    E
8    -    1
9    -    9
A    -    5
B    -    D
C    -    3
D    -    B
E    -    7
F    -    F
