Running the DOS-Based Utility
To run the boot-server utility, DTLBOOTD.EXE, follow these steps:
1. At the DOS prompt, type:
DTLBOOTD [–D ] [ –T <timeout> ] [ –B <numboots> ]
[ –F <numfiles> ] [ configfile ] [ logfile ]
Parameter Description
-D provide additional information for debug purposes.
–T <timeout> exit after <timeout> seconds of inactivity.

configfile name of the boot server configuration file to use. The default
configuration file is %ABIC_CONFIG%\BOOTPTAB.

2. Apply power to all chassis containing SLC 5/05 processors.
At power-up, each SLC 5/05 processor broadcasts a BOOTP
request if BOOTP was enabled at the channel 1 configuration
screen. The Ethernet boot server compares the hardware address
with those listed in BOOTPTAB and responds by sending the
corresponding IP address and other configuration data to the
client via a BOOTP reply.
