2.5 Installation of the Configuration Software

On the enclosed diskette you will find the BDI configuration software and the firmware required for the BDI2000. For Windows NT users there is also a TFTP server included.

The following files are on the diskette.

b20a11gd.exe	Windows configuration program
b20a11gd.hlp	Windows help file for the configuration program
b20a11gd.xxx	Firmware for the BDI2000
armjed20.xxx	JEDEC file for the BDI2000 (Rev. A/B) logic device
armjed21.xxx	JEDEC file for the BDI2000 (Rev. C) logic device
tftpsrv.exe	TFTP server for WindowsNT/ Windows95 (WIN32 console application)
*.cfg	Configuration files
*.def	Register definition files
bdisetup.zip	ZIP Archive with the Setup Tool sources for Linux / UNIX hosts.

Overview of an installation / configuration process:

•Create a new directory on your hard disk

•Copy the entire contents of the enclosed diskette into this directory

•Linux only: extract the setup tool sources and build the setup tool

•Use the setup tool to load/update the BDI firmware/logic Note: A new BDI has no firmware/logic loaded.

•Use the setup tool to transmit the initial configuration parameters

-IP address of the BDI.

-IP address of the host with the configuration file.

-Name of the configuration file. This file is accessed via TFTP.

-Optional network parameters (subnet mask, default gateway).

Activating BOOTP:

The BDI can get the network configuration and the name of the configuration file also via BOOTP. For this simple enter 0.0.0.0 as the BDI’s IP address (see following chapters). If present, the subnet mask and the default gateway (router) is taken from the BOOTP vendor-specific field as defined in RFC 1533.

With the Linux setup tool, simply use the default parameters for the -c option:

[root@LINUX_1 bdisetup]# ./bdisetup -c -p/dev/ttyS0 -b57

The MAC address is derived from the serial number as follows:

MAC: 00-0C-01-xx-xx-xx , repace the xx-xx-xx with the 6 left digits of the serial number

Example: SN# 93123457 ==>> 00-0C-01-93-12-34
