Setting Up A Lan Connection - HP E3473A User Manual

Setting Up a LAN Connection

The HP E3472A/73A Emulator has two LAN connectors:
•
A BNC connector that can be directly connected to a IEEE 802.3
Type 10BASE2 cable (ThinLAN). When using this connector, the
HP E3472A/73A Emulator provides the functional equivalent of a
Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) for ThinLAN.
•
An IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T connector.
Use either the 10BASE2 or the 10BASE-T connector. Do not use both.
The HP E3472A/73A Emulator will not work with both connected at
the same time.
You must assign an IP address (Internet address) to the
HP E3472A/73A Emulator before it can operate on the LAN. You can
also set other network parameters such as a gateway address. The IP
address and other network parameters are stored in nonvolatile
memory within the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
The HP E3472A/73A Emulator automatically sets a subnet mask
based on the subnet mask used by other devices on the network.
You can configure LAN parameters in any of the following ways:
•
Using the built-in terminal interface. This is the most reliable
method.
•
Using ipconfig700. The ipconfig700 program is supplied with the
HP E3755A/56A Debug User Interface on HP and Sun workstations.
•
Using BOOTP. BOOTP is part of the HP-UX operating systems.
