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 enters Panic
mode and re-boots.
Caution:
In 6 DHCP Address mode, the cradle must acquire 6
addresses from the DHCP server by requesting
addresses with different requestor IDs. Some DHCP
servers use the MAC address instead and with those
cradles the cradle only receives one address and will
not operate. This situation has occurred on some Novel
servers. To remedy the situation, use static mode.
Cradle Configuration, DHCP Address Mode:
1. Start a Terminal Emulation session for the cradle:
a. Connect the modular end of cable (P/N 170013-000) and
a null modem adapter between the expansion port of the
cradle and the COM port on a host computer.
b. Start a terminal emulation session on the host computer.
Use standard terminal emulator software, such as Pro-
Comm
TM
or Hyperterminal
TM
. Use terminal emulation
settings: 115200 bps, 8N1, XON/XOFF flow control,
ASCII file transfer protocol.
c. Power up the cradle. Before the power-up LED sequence
begins, press “a” from the terminal program to load the
