LAN Installation and Configuration 11-3
Octel 200/300 S.4.1PB60019−01
SLOTS Table
When adding the LAN card to the SLOTS Table,enter 22 for the card type. The commands MODIFY
SLOT and DELETE SLOT allow a slot with card type 22 to be modified or deleted.
Youcannot configure more than one LAN card in the SLOTS Table. Any attempt to add a second LAN
card results in the following error message:
LAN CARD ALREADY CONFIGURED IN SLOT n.
Youcan install the LAN card in slots A5, A6, or A7 in the Octel 200 and in slots A10, A11, or A12 of
Shelf A in the Octel 300.
Youcannot modify or delete the LAN card entry in the SLOTS Table when the LAN card is UP.
LOCATION Table
When adding the SELF location, enter the information in the fields for the SUBNET MASK and the IP
address. This information is required to bring up the LAN.
The SUBNET MASK and IP address number are usually given to you by your LAN administrator. If
your network doesn’t use a subnetting scheme, you should still set up the subnet mask to cover your
network portion. The CPU assigns a SUBNET MASK that conforms with the class of the IP address if
none is entered. Refer to the LAN Appendix A, Implementation of Subnet with Masks.
System Parameters
Configure System Parameters 233 and 234 if a gateway and name server exist on the LAN and must be
accessed. Contact the network administrator for information about these system parameters.
System
Parameter Description and Use
233 LAN: NAME SERVER IP ADDRESS
The name server is used to determine the IP address of a node, given its ASCII
host name. The ASCII host name is used to identify a node with a symbolic name,
so that hard-coded IP addresses are not used. This entry is optional and need not be
configured if all nodes are known by their IP addresses.
The IP address of the name server must be of the form M.N.O.P, where
M=1−223; N and O = 0−255, and P = 1−254.
.This is the name server in the data network (LAN), not the Octel 200/300
Netnames or Dial-by-Name directory.
