Setting Up a LAN Connection
The HP processor probe has two LAN connectors:
•
A BNC connector that can be directly connected to a IEEE 802.3
Type 10BASE2 cable (ThinLAN). When using this connector, the
HP processor probe provides the functional equivalent of a Medium
Attachment Unit (MAU) for ThinLAN.
•
An IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T (StarLAN) connector.
Use either the 10BASE2 or the 10BASE-T connector. Do
not
use both.
The HP processor probe will not work with both connected at the
same time.
You must assign an IP address (Internet address) to the HP processor
probe before it can operate on the LAN. You can also set other
network parameters such as a gateway address. The IP address and
other network parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory within the
HP processor probe.
The HP processor probe automatically sets a subnet mask based on
the subnet mask used by other devices on the network.
You can configure LAN parameters in any of the following ways:
•
Using the built-in terminal interface. This is the easiest method.
•
Using ipconfig700. The ipconfig700 program is supplied with HP
emulator user interfaces which run on HP and Sun workstations.
•
Using BOOTP. BOOTP is part of the HP-UX, SunOS, and Solaris
operating systems.
