To configure LAN parameters using the terminal
interface
1 Set all of the rear panel switches to the down position. This will set the serial port
(Port A on a 64700A card cage) to 9600 baud and DCE.
2 Connect an ASCII terminal to the serial port with a 25-pin RS-232 cable.
You can also connect to a computer's RS-232 port and use a terminal emulation
program on the computer. Refer to the "Connecting the HP 64700 Using
RS-232/RS-422" chapter in the 64700 Card Cage Installation/Service Guide.
3 Turn ON the emulator card cage. Press the terminal's <RETURN> key a couple
times. You should see the "R>" prompt.
4 Display the current LAN configuration values by entering the lan command:
R>lan
lan -i 0.0.0.0
lan -g 0.0.0.0
lan -s 0.0.0.0
lan -p 6470
Ethernet Address : 08000903212f
Note the Ethernet Address, also known as the link-level address. This address is
preassigned at the factory, and is printed on the rear panel.
5 Enter the lan -i <internet> [-g <gateway>] [-s <subnet>] [-p <port>] command.
The lan command parameters are:
-i <internet>
-g <gateway>
38
The Internet Address must be obtained from your local system
administrator. The value is entered in integer dot notation. For
example, 192.35.12.6 is an Internet Address.
The Gateway Address is also an Internet Address and is entered
in integer dot notation. This entry is optional and will default to

network or subnet. If connections are to be made to
workstations on other networks or subnets, this address must be
