If you do not see characters displayed by your terminal program within 30 seconds after the unit is
powered up, you must troubleshoot your setup. An incorrectly wired cable or incorrect port setting in
your terminal emulation program are the most common problems. Refer to Appendix H - Specifica-

for the signal connections for the Sonoma.
Once you have successfully established communications with the Sonoma, you may proceed to
configure the network parameters using
netconfig
(see below). Then you can communicate with
the Sonoma over the network using
telnet
or
ssh
and synchronize your network computers to UTC
using NTP.

The script file
netconfig
will configure the TCP/IP network parameters for your Sonoma.
NOTE
When setting up the IP addresses on both network port 0 (eth0) and 1 (eth1):

2. Configure the default gateway on either port 0 (eth0) or port 1 (eth1), BUT NOT BOTH.
NOTE
