Basic Installation

Assigning an Internet Address

The DRM-6NX supports HTTP over TCP/IP, which means that it works as a web server available to the Internet and intranets. To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must assign an appropriate Internet address to your DRM-6NX as an address assignment is required to access the DRM-6NX web interface.

You can set the Internet address of the DRM-6NX Changer using either DHCP, ARP, RARP or BOOTP. All methods are enabled by default. Each Method is described below:

DHCP

DHCP is available in Windows NT and UNIX. It operates on the entire network and allows for automatic but temporary assignment of Internet addresses from a central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the selected host to automatically allocate and download a free Internet address, default router address and subnet mask to the requesting DRM-6NX. It also provides validation data that defines how long the Internet addresses will remain valid.

Before you begin

Make sure that the DRM-6NX is powered up and connected to the network.

Internet Address

Obtain an address from the Network Administrator.

System Privileges

You will require Root privileges on the UNIX system or Administrator privileges on the Windows NT servers.

Ethernet Address

Depending upon the selected method, you will need to know the Ethernet address of your DRM-6NX. The Ethernet address is based upon the internal network board serial number found on the attached label.

Important!

Do not use the default (192.36.253.80) or example Internet address when installing your DRM-6NX. Always consult the Network Administrator before assigning an Internet address.

ARP

ARP is available in Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIX and OS/2. It requires the Internet address for each new device to be downloaded individually. It is not appropriate to use this method over routers.

RARP

RARP is available in UNIX. It downloads the Internet address to each device automatically. This method requires a RARP daemon on your system and operates within a single network segment only.

Mapping a Host Name to the Internet Address

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired Internet address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform name mapping on the particular system.

NOTE:

7If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can still perform the following instructions on how to download the Internet address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the Internet address wherever required.

BOOTP

BOOTP is available in UNIX and is similar to RARP although it can operate on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on the system. A request made to an active BOOTP or RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet address table (RARP daemon), or boot table (BOOTP daemon) for an entry matching the unit's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then downloads the Internet address to the device.

Procedures

Download the Internet address to your DRM-6NX using the appropriate method for your system.

DHCP

Follow the steps below to use the DHCP method:

1.Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. For Windows NT servers, refer to the "Windows NT Resource Kit " for instructions. The entries made in this scope typically include the following parameters:

ÖRange of Internet addresses

ÖSubnet mask

ÖDefault router Internet address

ÖLease duration

ÖMail server Internet address
