Configuring The Ethernet Connection - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Configuring the Ethernet Connection

You now should enter basic network configuration information for the PortServer II.
The information you enter is stored in the network parameters configuration table.
1. Set the IP address for the PortServer II unit, using the following command:
#>set config ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Your network administrator can give you an appropriate IP address to use. For
example, to set an IP address of 192.83.159.1, enter :
#>set config ip=192.83.159.1
#>
Note: If your system supports RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol),
you may be able to acquire the IP address automatically. See Configuring
PortServer II over the Ethernet on Page 64.
2. Set the Node Name for the PortServer II, using the following command:
#>set config myname=<node_name>
For example, to set the node name to termserver, enter:
#>set config myname=termserver
3. If applicable, enter the name of the domain that includes the PortServer II unit,
using the following command:
#>set config domain=<domain_name>
For example, to set dgii.com as the domain name, enter:
#>set config domain=dgii.com
#>
4. If you have one, enter the IP address of the Domain Name Service machine that
will translate domain names to and from IP addresses, using the following com-
mand.
#>set config nameserv=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
For example, to set 192.83.159.2 as the Domain Name Server, enter:
