5.3 TCP/IP Communication Protocols
5.4 IP Address
The IP address of a drive uniquely defines the drive on the network. Ethernet requires that every device on a net-
work segment must have a unique IPaddress.
5.4.1 Port Number
The AKD drive supports the following protocols using the following port numbers:
TCP: Port 23. Telnet for normal communications with the drive.
Port 502. Modbus TCP.
UDP: Ports 5002 and 5003. These ports are used to discover AKD drives on the local subnet.
5.4.2 MAC Address
Ethernet also requires that every device must have a globally unique identifier called the MAC address. The MAC
address is a 48 bit number normally shown as a series of six hexadecimal numbers (for example,
00:AA:11:BB:22:CC).
Every AKD drive is given a unique MAC address when it is manufactured and this MAC address cannot be
changed. The MAC address of every drive is printed on the sticker on the side of the drive.
