To Obtain An Ip Address - Agilent Technologies E5900B User Manual

To obtain an IP address

1 Obtain the following information from your local network administrator
or system administrator:
• An IP address for the emulation probe.
You can also use a "LAN name" for the emulation probe, but you must
configure it using the integer dot notation (such as 127.0.0.1).
• 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 connections
only 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.
• The subnet mask.
A subnet mask blocks out part of an IP address so that the networking
software can determine whether the destination host is on a local or
remote network. It is usually represented as decimal numbers separated
by periods; for example, 255.255.248.0.
2 Find out whether port numbers 6470 and 6471 are already in use on
your network and if that use constitutes a conflict.
The host computer interfaces communicate with the emulation probe through
two TCP service ports. The default base port number is 6470. The second port
has the next higher number (default 6471).
In almost all cases, the default numbers (6470, 6471) can be used without
change. If necessary the base port number can be changed if the port numbers
conflict with some other product on your network.
To change the port numbers, see page 32. If you have already set the IP
address, you can use a telnet connection instead of a serial connection to
connect to the emulation probe.
