the SONAR Program (figure 6-1). This utility can also be used to display the Machine ID. Within the
\EdgeTech folder there is a file “machine id”.PWD that holds the systems Machine ID, Binary Encoded
Option Selection and the password. This password uniquely connects the SONAR software on the
memory device (SATADOM or USB) with the delivered CPU/Network MAC address. If a back-up of
the software is made and used with a different CPU/Network Port, the SONAR system will continue to
function when used with any of EdgeTech’s software products but features, such as external control by a
3

party software package, will no longer function. The same is true if a CPU is replaced, with no
changes to the SATADOM/USB boot device, as the password-based MAC address will not match the
new CPU/Network Port. To resolve this, a new password is needed to match the SONAR software to the
CPU’s Machine ID. Contact EdgeTech Customer Support for assistance and please have the Machine ID
available.

The SONAR System Status Window identifies what Options have been activated by the Password. The
Status Window is accessed from the SONAR Drop Down Menu (figure 6-2).
