partitioned into a subnet portion and a host portion.) If the
network is subnetted, a subnet mask is required in order for the
emulator to work correctly. The subnet mask should be set to
all "1"s in the bits which correspond to the network and subnet
portions of the Internet address and all "0"s for the host portion.
The subnet mask must be obtained from your local system
administrator.
If the ipconfig700 command is entered without any options, the program
interactively prompts for the necessary information.
If the Link Level Address on the rear panel of your card cage read 08000F090F30,
and your system administrator gave you the Internet Address 192.35.12.6, you
could enter the following command:
$ ipconfig700 -l 08000F090B30 -i 192.35.12.6 <RETURN>
Since no Gateway Address or Subnet Mask was entered these values would default
to 0.0.0.0. When the Internet Address is successfully programmed, ipconfig700
will ask the emulator to display its version information.
6 Set switch 14 back to zero (0). Do this so the next time power is cycled on the
emulator it will not enter a state waiting for network parameters.
7 Verify your emulator is now active and on the network by issuing a telnet to the
Internet Address. For example:
$ telnet 192.35.12.6 <RETURN>
This connection will give you access to the emulator's built-in terminal interface.
To exit from this telnet session, type <CTRL>d at the emulator prompt.
Once you have entered an Internet Address, and you want to change it to a different
number, the best way to accomplish this is to telnet to the emulator and use the
terminal interface lan command to make the change.
