2. Connect one end of a standard 10 Base-T network cable to
the connector labelled Host on the back of the CRD2700-
4000E. Connect the other end of the cable to a hub which is
connected to your subnet.
3. Power up the cradle; the CRD2700-4000E performs a pow-
er-up sequence, then attempts to collect all its network pa-
rameters from the DHCP server. While collecting network
parameters, all LEDs flash green. Once configuration com-
pletes, all LEDs shut off.
If configuration of the unit from the DHCP server fails, all LEDs
flash red. The unit retries the DHCP request every 10 minutes.
6 DHCP Address Mode
This is the default mode of the cradle. When using the 6 DHCP
address mode, the cradle acquires 6 IP addresses dynamically
from the DHCP server: one for the cradle, one for each of the 4
slots, and one for the expansion slot. This feature is not enabled
when using NAPT translation. To perform this configuration, run
the EFlasher utility from the debug monitor. Follow steps 1 through
6 in Static Mode to access the Current Cradle Globals: menu.
1. Select option 1 for Static mode. Set both Static Mode and
NAPT Mode to 0 to acquire 6 IP addresses from the DHCP
server.
2. Type F to write these values to Flash memory.
3. Type Q to quit the program and exit to E86mon.
Cycle power to the cradle to effect the latest changes.
In this mode, each slot has its own IP address and may be directly
accessed by the network. On power-up, the 6 IP addresses are
acquired. Periodically, the lease times are checked and renewed
as required. If the renewal request is NAKed by the server, the
cradle enters Panic mode and re-boots. If the cradle receives no
response from the server and is unable to re-bind, it also Panics
and re-boots.
