To obtain an IP address

To obtain an IP address
Obtain the following information from your local network
1
administrator or system administrator:
•
An IP address for the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
•
The gateway address.
The gateway address is an IP address and is entered in integer dot notation.
The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0, which allows all connections on the
local network or subnet. If connections are to be made to workstations on
other networks or subnets, this address must be set to the address of the
gateway machine.
Find out whether port numbers 6470 and 6471 are already in use on
2
your network.
The host computer interfaces communicate with the HP E3472A/73A
Emulator through two TCP service ports. The default base port number is
6470. The second port has the next higher number (default 6471).
The default numbers (6470, 6471) can be changed if they conflict with some
other products on your network. TCP service port numbers must be greater
than 1024. If you change the base port, the new value must also be entered in
the /etc/services file on the host computer. For example, you could modify
the line:
hp64700 6470/tcp
To change the port numbers, see page 23. If you have already set the IP
address, you can use a telnet connection instead of a serial connection to
connect to the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
Also you have to be sure that the port number you use does not conflict with
the one for the logic analyzer.
Write down the link-level address of the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
3
You will need this address if you use BOOTP or ipconfig700 to set the IP
address.
The link-level address (LLA) is printed on a label above the LAN connectors
on the HP E3472A/73A Emulator. This address is configured in each
HP E3472A/73A Emulator shipped from the factory and cannot be changed.
