Freeway 1200/1300 Hardware Installation Guide
You can change the default FTP user name and FTP password that Freeway uses
by changing the corresponding boot parameters on the Freeway. If you do,
remember that you must also change the user name and password of the FTP
account on the boot server.
4. The system administrator has assigned the following device names and addresses
in the UNIX
/etc/hosts
file, the Windows NT
hosts
or
lmhosts
file, or using
your VMS TCP/IP package:
•
Freeway name and Internet address
•
Boot server name and Internet address
•
Gateway Internet address (if applicable)
The procedure for configuring the Freeway system boot parameters is the same for
UNIX, VMS, and Windows NT systems. Freeway obtains the boot parameters from
local non-volatile memory during system boot. Therefore, when you configure the boot
parameters in the following steps, all applicable parameters must be configured.
Step 1:
Connect a VT100-compatible terminal or terminal emulator to Freeway using the cable
supplied with your Freeway that has both a 9-pin and a 25-pin connector at each end.
Connect the 9-pin connector on one end of the cable to the console connector on the
Freeway’s back panel. For the location of this connector, see Figure 2–3 on page 36 for
the Freeway 1200 or Figure 2–4 on page 37 for the Freeway 1300. Connect the 25-pin
connector on the other end of the cable to the VT100-compatible terminal or emulator
that you want to use as a console.
You will use this terminal or emulator as a console to configure the boot parameters and
perform the initial system boot. Later you can disconnect the terminal or emulator
because you can then perform these configuration functions using telnet or rlogin
through any terminal or workstation connected to the network.
