1.Enter the ifconfigcommand (refer to Table 2-3) at the command line prompt and press the Return key.

The following is a sample command: ifconfig com1 9.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 9.0.0.3

Refer to Appendix A for more information about the ifconfig command.

2.Enter the bconfigcommands (refer to Table 2-4) at the command line prompt and press the Return key.

You must enter one bconfig command to specify the location of the software image, and another to specify the location of the configuration file.

The following are sample commands:

bconfig image network 192.32.5.8 /usr/arnstartup/krnl_arn.exe bconfig config network 192.32.5.8 /usr/arnstartup/config
