Note, the system must be powered up to get the ICP and IMB serial numbers.  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 07-02-2014 02:43 AM                     Hi, Thx. Unfortunately it does not help me. I need the serial number of the PIB/LD/ICP . I have nothing to do with MAC address.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Is there a way for me to know the serial number . I have nothing to do with MAC address.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 07-04-2014 06:45 PM                     Okay, let's try it this way: Why do you think you need another serial number that the MAC address these cards supply as their serial number? Who told you need some other numbering scheme, and for what? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 07-05-2014 03:36 AM                     Hi, In my organization we have a lot of equipment. I want to keep records of all serial number of the PIB/LD/ICP, Because sometimes I change parts and send some parts to manufacturer and I want to know where to return the part.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-05-2014 05:48 AM                     then the MAC address is your serial number. MAC addresses are unique, there are not two on the world that are identical  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 07-05-2014 06:28 AM                     You are right. If one does not turn on and I have only the serial number printed on the bord and the mac on my listings how do I know what is right? I'm looking for a way to get the serial number without dismantling the machine.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-05-2014 07:59 AM                     the MAC address should be printed on the board.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-05-2014 01:43 PM                     You want the serial numbers without dismantling, so you can keep track of parts if and when they get removed and swapped or sent for service... how about just recording serial numbers from the parts you remove? For the ones that have never been removed it doesn't matter until they are, for whatever reason. Or just bute the bullet and take them all out now to get the serial number. I believe the boards do have a sticker with the MAC address but I can't say for sure. Since that's the number you can get from the system it's the number you should use IMO, or have it and the "serial number" in your list.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-05-2014 04:39 PM                     Dismantling? We are talking about a Christie series 2, right? I guarantee you that you have spent more time here trying to get information than it would have taken you to pop the top of the projector (using no tools unless it is a CP2210/15 in which you need a Phillips screw driver), release the secure door with the Medico key, release the latch for the face frame/card lock. Pop the board...it is on the order of 1-minute for the 2220 and better. Now you WILL need marriage privileges to get the unit going again.  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 07-06-2014 12:19 AM                     I have many Christie 2000/210/220/230, all over my country. It makes no sense to go through one by one.  |  IP: Logged
