Determining the Network Settings
Determining the Network Settings
If you are not sure what the network information is on a DeviceMaster, you can perform
the following procedure.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster using the serial (Page 75) method.
2. At the RedBoot prompt, type ip.
The IP address, subnet mask, and IP gateway values will display.
Note: Optionally, you can install PortVision Plus on a Windows system on the network and
see the IP information in the List View pane.
Configuring the Network Settings
The following subsections show you how to establish a communications link with
Redboot on the DeviceMaster, by using one of these methods:
• Serial connection between Port 1 on the DeviceMaster and a COM port on a PC.
If you do not know the IP address of the DeviceMaster you must use a serial
connection to communicate with the DeviceMaster.
• Telnet connection requires that you know the IP address. In addition, the IP address
must also be valid for the network to which it is attached. For example: The network
segment must be 192.168.250.x to telnet to the DeviceMaster default IP.
Note: Optionally, you can install PortVision Plus on a Windows system on the network and
use the Configure Device window to configure network settings.
Use the following procedure to program the IP address using Redboot.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster using the serial (Page 75) or telnet
(Page 76) method.
2. Enter ip [addr mask gateway] and press the Enter key to configure the IP address.
Where:
addr = IP address you want to use
mask = matches you network subnet mask
gateway = assigned by your network administrator
Make sure that each value is separated by a space.
3. Verify that Redboot responds with your configured network information or reissue
the command.
4. Type reset to reset the DeviceMaster, if you do not have any other related Redboot
tasks.
