Section 2: Basic Installation
Setup for TCP/IP
Before you begin
Assigning an Internet
Address and
a Host Name
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must
assign an appropriate Internet address. For example, this is needed for
accessing the AXIS StorPoint CD from a Web browser.
The Internet address can be set from Windows 95, Windows NT,
UNIX or OS/2. You can also use the AXIS WinPoint utility, see
"Setting the Internet Address " on page 33.
•
You will need root privileges on your UNIX system or
administrator privileges on the Windows NT server.
•
Have the serial number found on the underside label of the
StorPoint CD available.
•
Make sure the StorPoint CD is powered up and attached to the
network.
•
Always consult the Network Administrator before making
changes to the network configuration.
Enter the Internet address and host name into your host table using
the following instructions:
1. Acquire an unused Internet address from your Network
Administrator and make up a unique host name for your
StorPoint CD.
2. The host tables are normally located in the following directories:
• Windows 95 - c:\windows\hosts
• Windows NT - c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
• UNIX - /etc/hosts
• OS/2 - c:\etc\hosts
