Abstract
A LAN terminal equipment comprises a plurality of slots, each capable of accommodating a LAN control board, at least one ROM socket capable of holding a MAC ROM, and an input/output control unit. The input/output control unit determines a correspondence between the LAN control board and the MAC ROM, thereby ensuring the uniqueness of MAC address and also making a primary/spare dual configuration possible.
