Freeway User Guide
• If you want to run a specific protocol loopback program on your client system,
you can obtain the source code for that loopback program from the CDROM for
that specific protocol. See chapter Chapter 3 for details.
• If you need the Freeway to boot over the LAN from a boot server on the network,
refer to Chapter 8 for instructions on how to configure a system to act as a “boot
server” for the Freeway.
• If the flash drive on your Freeway has been corrupted or you want to reinstall the
protocol and/or server software, refer to Chapter 7 for instructions on how to
install the server and protocol software from the original CDROM distribution.
2.2 Booting the Freeway
The Freeway system boots itself from its own disk drive at power-up. However, there are
three important things you need to do when you boot a Freeway for the first time:
1. Assign an IP address to the Freeway so it can be accessed on your local network.
2. Check to make sure that you can access the Freeway server from another location
on your local network.
3. Check to see if the protocols are downloaded and running on the ICP boards.
Some of these steps you may have already done in the hardware installation or may have
been done at the Protogate factory, however, you can still use the procedure below to
check the configuration and operation of the Freeway.
