Install Guide

2.Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file and add the following line:

192.185.2.3 alpha

3.Use the following menu sequence in sam:

Networking--> Communications--> Device Connectivity--> Boot Protocol--> Actions--> Add

4.In response to the program prompts, add the following information:

BOOTP Device Name: <specify the hostname of the MIL-4711H>

Internet address: <specify the IP address of the MIL-4711H>

Subnet address: <specify the subnet mask of the MIL-4711H>

Station address (hex): <specify the hardware address of the MIL-4711H>

Boot file name: <specify the full path of this file> (e.g.: /etc/BOOTPtab)

5.Answer the prompt for BOOTP Device Adapter Type by clicking first on Ethernet and then click on Apply.

6.Exit out of SAM.

7.Start BOOTP.

The MIL-4711H will broadcast BOOTP packets and will obtain a response from the server using the IP address specified in /etc/ BOOTPtab file.

If the BOOTP process is successful, the SYS LED flashes five times per second until the MIL-4711H resolves its IP address. It flashes once per second after address resolution.

Note: The IP address in this case is stored in RAM. When the MIL-4711H is powered off, the address will be lost and when the unit is powered on, the MIL-4711H will RARP again.

Verifying the IP Address is Set Properly

To see if the 4711H is up and responding on the network, use the ping command:

ping <hostname>

It should respond with a message that the host is alive. For example, if the MIL-

4711H alpha is responding on the network, the response from ping will be:

alpha is alive

If there is a problem resolving the MIL-4711H name, try using ping with the IP address for the MIL-4711H:

ping <ip-address>

Model: MIL-4711H
