1Power Off the Intermate1xx. If the unit is attached to a printer, it is best that the printer is powered On.

2Edit the [ /etc/bootptab ] file on the host. If this file does not exist on your system, it must be created manually using an ASCII file editor. Insert the following sequence in the

[ /etc/bootptab ] file:

Syntax (written on a single line; it will rarely be possible to write the whole string on a single line, and you can usually use backslash at the end of each line to indicate that the definition continues)

<host name>: ht=<hardware type>: ha=<hardware

address>: hn: ip=<IP address>: sm=<subnet mask>: gw=<gateway field>

Example:

ím00801e: ht=ether: ha=00c0a200801e: hn: \

ip=192.168.0.227: sm=255.255.255.0: gw=192.168.0.1

3Save the [ /etc/bootptab ] file.

Note:

On platforms other than OS/2, you may need to reinitialize the BOOTP-server every time you make changes to the [ /etc/bootptab ] file in order to be sure the changes take immediate effect.

For the AIX platform, however, it is sufficient to refresh the intetd subsystem. Syntax:

refresh -s inetd

4Make sure the Intermate1xx is attached to the LAN and power it on.

5Connect and Login to the unit with a browser or Telnet client.

6Choose [TCP/IP].
