26 AXIS 570/670 MIO User’s Manual
Basic Set Up for TCP/IP
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an Internet
address and a host name must be mapped to the Ethernet/Node address
of your AXIS 570/670 MIO. To do this, you must firstly acquire an
unused Internet address and decide upon an appropriate and unique
name for your AXIS 570/670 MIO. This information then must be
included into your system host table. The procedures for doing this are
described below.
Before you start
System privileges
You will need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet address
You will need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 570 MIO to
perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial
number of your AXIS 570 MIO. This means that an AXIS 570 MIO
with a serial number of 00408C100086, will have a corresponding
Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number of your unit
is located on the back of the circuit board.
Node address
In Token Ring networks the node address is either the serial number
found on the underside label of the AXIS 670 MIO or a Locally
Administrated Address.
