when the routers were first installed. The Metasys Ethernet

Router Planning Form B will be used to configure each of the

Metasys Ethernet Routers. If you will be installing new routers,

follow the procedures beginning on page 13.

4. Use the Metasys Ethernet Router Planning Form B to generate a

new ROUTER.CFG file. The file should be a list of subnet

address and IP address pairs of the form:

nnn xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where “nnn” is the subnet address and “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” is the

IP address for the Metasys Ethernet Router attached to that

subnet. The last line of the ROUTER.CFG file should be a line

containing “000.” Once you have built a new ROUTER.CFG

file that lists all of the subnets, a copy must be placed in each

Metasys Ethernet Router attached to the system.

5. Configure the new hardware and install it as described in a

previous section, Adding a New Metasys Subnet.

6. Use the Metasys Ethernet Router Planning Form B to update the

TCP/IP configuration on each of the existing Metasys Ethernet

Routers. The procedure for updating the TCP/IP information is

described in a previous section, Changing the Ethernet Network.

7. To update the DDL files for Metasys, use the Metasys Ethernet

Router Planning Form A. The only changes you should have to

make are to the Network Definition and the Global Definition

DDL files to change the subnet addresses for each of the NCMs

and PCs. If you add new NCMs to the system, you will most

likely update the DDL files to add the data base information for

the new NCMs when you update the subnet and node addresses

for the Metasys devices.
