settings, which are later used by PEEDI. RedBoot has some useful testing facilities like
ping
and
memtest
.
3.2.1 RedBoot Configuration
RedBoot and PEEDI share the same network settings. To set the network you need to connect a
simple terminal application set to 115200, 8, N, 1 (for example HyperTerminal) to the PEEDI’s
RS232 port using a serial straight-through cable with DB9M (male) and DB9F (female) connectors
on each end. Next step is to restart PEEDI by pressing the RESET button while holding both front
panel buttons in. This will tell RedBoot not to load and launch the PEEDI executable if available,
but to wait for connection on RS232 or Ethernet. While rebooting RedBoot should output some
diagnostic information on the serial port which you should see. When RedBoot is ready to accept
commands, it will show the command line prompt ’RedBoot> ’. Now you can use the
fconfig
command to set and save to FLASH all the parameters. When asked for different parameters please
enter the following:
WARNING:
If PEEDI is set to get its network settings from a DHCP server and if the Ethernet
cable is unplugged or there is no DHCP server on the Ethernet, it may take some
time for PEEDI to boot. To avoid this, make sure PEEDI can reach a DHCP
server.
Use DHCP for network configuration: yes /[no][ENTER]
Gateway IP address: X.X.X.X
Local IP address: X.X.X.X
Local IP address mask: X.X.X.X
Default server IP address, used by RedBoot and PEEDI: X.X.X.X
Note
:
Instead of X’s enter IP address digits
Next you will be asked for the path of the configuration file:
