Verify Network Configuration
If you have made changes to your network configuration using
netconfig
, you should shutdown the
Tempus LX and re-boot it. There are two ways to do this:
1. Cycle power to the Tempus LX.
2. Issue the shutdown with re-boot command at the shell prompt:
Tempus LX GPS(root@gntp:~)-> shutdown -r now
If you are using the RS-232 serial I/O port to communicate with the Tempus LX, you will be able to
see the kernel generated boot messages when the unit re-boots. You should note the line
Configuring eth0 as 192.168.1.245...
if you have set up a static IP address, or this line
Attempting to configure eth0 by contacting a DHCP server...
if you are using DHCP. It appears near the end of the kernel generated boot messages.
If you are using DHCP and are not using the RS-232 serial I/O port, you will have to check the
DHCP configuration information maintained by your DHCP server to determine the expected IP ad-
dress and log in to the Tempus LX using
telnet
or
ssh
to verify successful DHCP configuration.
Refer to the subsequent topics in this section
Using Telnet
and
Using SSH
, for details on logging in
to the Tempus LX that way. Once you have logged in, you may perform the following checks.
If you are not using DHCP, the IP address shown should match the static IP address which you
entered during the
netconfig
procedure. If so, log in as “root” at the login prompt and check the
other configuration parameters using
ifconfig
:
Tempus LX GPS(root@gntp:~)-> ifconfig
