Chapter 8 Configuration & Management
Having assigned an IP address to your EasyLAN 100i, as described
in
Chapter 3 “Basic Installation; Assigning an IP address”
, you
can change the EasyLAN 100i parameter settings using the File
Transport Protocol (FTP).
Editing the config file
Follow the instructions below to edit the config file using FTP:
1. Create a directory on the hard disk in a DOS window (Windows
and OS/2) or in a UNIX shell window, e.g.:
c:/md <directory name>
2. Select this directory to receive data via ftp, e.g.:
c:/cd <directory name>
c:/<directory name>ftp
3. Log in to the EasyLAN 100i by typing:
ftp <host name>
or
ftp <IP address>
4. Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are
root
and
pass
.)
5. Download the config file to your host by typing:
get config
6. Edit the file using your preferred text editor.
7. Save the config file to the EasyLAN 100i by typing:

It is important that the destination file is specified in capital let-
ters. Otherwise the edits are temporary and will be lost once the
EasyLAN 100i has been powered down.
