Freeway 3112 Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 4. Configuring the Boot Parameters Using an Init Diskette
Boot Parameter
Description
Secondary Network
Interface
If the Boot Device (boot server) is an IP network device, the Secondary Network
Interface parameter is unused (this is the default). If the Boot Device is the hard or flash
disk, this parameter specifies the local area network device to be used after the Freeway
boots. Set this parameter to
fei
to use the primary Ethernet (on the CPU board) or
fei1
to use the secondary Ethernet board.
Gateway Inet Interface
If your Freeway and boot server are on the same local network, clear this parameter
(this is the default). If they are on different networks, enter the IP address of the gateway
machine on the Freeway’s network that provides access to the boot server’s network.

example, 0x2008 waits 2 seconds before autobooting and forces the 10
megabits/second speed.
