Cyclades-PR4000

STEP ONE

The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Fast Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.2. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column. These parameters will be entered into the PR4000 later, after all parameters have been determined. Each parameter in this menu is explained in more detail in chapter 5 of the Installation Guide.
