Configure The Agilent Bootp Service Program - Agilent Technologies Cary 8454 Installation Manual

Configure the Agilent BootP Service Program

If the system is on an isolated LAN and the default IP address 192.168.254.11 for the
N O T E
spectrophotometer is used, BootP is not necessary.
Before configuring BootP Service, you must know the IP addresses of the
computer and instruments, the subnet mask, and the gateway. The MAC or
hardware address of a LAN interface is a world wide unique identifier. No
other network device will have the same MAC address. The MAC address
is printed on the card or can be read out during the configuration
procedure:
If the PC has been rebooted after installing the Agilent BootP Service, the Agilent BootP
N O T E
Service is started automatically during the next startup of the system. To change BootP
settings, the service must be stopped, the changes made, then restarted. The details are
documented within this section.
Determine your MAC Address
Determine the MAC address of the LAN card installed. The number is
engraved in the board.
Write down the MAC address before installing the card into the module.
To remove the card from the system, turn the module off before removing
the LAN card. Read the MAC address from the label. Reinstall the card
and turn on the module again.
