The above Backplane IP address and Gateway IP address are valid examples – you may
use IP addresses that are appropriate to your installation.

To configure the MIDAS-120 network gateway, allow the MIDAS system to start up
and then use the

bootChange

command to set the boot parameters as follows:

boot

device

:

mdc<slot>

processor number

: 0

host

name

:

.

file

name

:

.

inet on ethernet (e)

: <Ethernet IP address>

inet on backplane (b)

: 192.168.0.100

host inet (h)

gateway inet (g)

: .

user

(u)

:

.

ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh):
flags

(f)

:

.

target name (tn)

: <Target name>

startup script (s)

: .

other

(o)

:

.

<slot>

set to the slot location of the installed device

<Target name>

should be set to the MDR Server hostname that will be used to

communicate with the MDR system.

<Ethernet IP address>

the

IP address of the MIDAS-120 network gateway as seen

from the Host Computer.

Verify that the

VmeA32SlaveBase

item in the

vxbsp.ini

file is set correctly. If this

item is missing, then the VME A32 slave base address will be computed by the BSP.
The default BSP computation puts the VME A32 slave base of a MIDAS acting as a SM
master (with a processor number of 0) at address 0x0.
For processor numbers different from 0, the following formula is used:

VmeA32SlaveBase

= (ProcNum * 0x10000) + 0x4000000

In the above example configurations, the

VmeA32SlaveBase

for the MDR-220 should

be set to 0x5000000 and that for the MIDAS-120 gateway should be set to 0x4000000.

The default value for

flags

is 0. Do not change the value of

flags

– type a period “

.

”

for the default value.
