RedBoot Procedures
Determining the Network Settings
If you are not sure what the network information is on a DeviceMaster 500, you
can perform the following procedure.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster 500 using the serial (Page
49) method.
2. At the RedBoot prompt, type ip.
The IP address, subnet mask, and IP gateway values will display.
Note: Optionally, you can install PortVision Plus on a Windows system on the
network and see the IP information in the List View pane.
Configuring the Network Settings
The following subsections show you how to establish a communications link with
Redboot on the DeviceMaster 500, by using one of these methods:
• Serial connection between Port 1 on the DeviceMaster 500 and a COM port on
a PC.
If you do not know the IP address of the DeviceMaster 500 you must use a
serial connection to communicate with the DeviceMaster 500.
• Telnet connection requires that you know the IP address. In addition, the IP
address must also be valid for the network to which it is attached. For
example: The network segment must be 192.168.250.x to telnet to the
DeviceMaster 500 default IP.
Note: Optionally, you can install PortVision Plus on a Windows system on the
network and use the Configure Device window to configure network settings.
Use the following procedure to program the IP address using Redboot.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster 500 using the serial (Page
49) or telnet (Page 50) method.
2. Enter ip [addr mask gateway] and press the Enter key to configure the IP
address. Where:
addr = IP address you want to use
mask = matches you network subnet mask
gateway = assigned by your network administrator
Make sure that each value is separated by a space.
3. Verify that Redboot responds with your configured network information or
reissue the command.
4. Type reset to reset the DeviceMaster 500, if you do not have any other related
Redboot tasks.
