Install the DOS/Windows BOOTP server
To install the DOS BOOTP server:
1. Change the directory to the drive containing the BOOTP utility.
2. Type
install, and press [Enter].
3. The software is installed in
C:\ABIC\BIN. Put this directory in
the path statement of your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Edit the DOS/Windows BOOTP Configuration File
The boot-server configuration file,
BOOTPTAB, is located in the
C:\ABIC\BIN directory. This file contains the information needed to
boot SLC 5/05 processors.
You must edit the
BOOTPTAB file, which is an ASCII text file, to
include the name, IP address, and hardware address for each
SLC 5/05 processor you want the server to boot. To edit this file:
1. Open the
BOOTPTAB file using a text editor.
The file contains lines that look like this:
#Default string for each type of Ethernet client
defaults5E: ht=1:vm=rfc1048
These are the default parameters for SLC 5/05 processors and
must always precede the client lines in the
BOOTPTAB file.
The file also contains a line that looks like this:
plc5name: tc=defaults5E:ip=aa.bb.cc.dd:ha=0000BC1Cxxyy
Important: Use this line as the configuration template for
SLC 5/05 processors.
2. Make one copy of the SLC 5/05 processor template for every
SLC 5/05 processor in your system.
3. Edit each copy of the template as follows:
A. Replace plc5name with the name of the SLC 5/05 processor.
Use only letters and numbers; do not use underscores.
B. Replace
aa.bb.cc.dd with the IP address to be assigned to
the processor.
