Determining the Network Settings
If you are not sure what the network information is on a DeviceMaster AIR, you
can perform the following procedure.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster AIR using the serial (Page
47) or telnet (Page 48) method.
2. At the RedBoot prompt, type ip.
The IP address, subnet mask, and IP gateway values will display.
Configuring the Network Settings
The following subsections show you how to establish a communications link with
Redboot on the DeviceMaster AIR, by using one of these methods:
• Serial connection between Port 1 on the DeviceMaster AIR and a COM port on
a PC.
If you do not know the IP address of the DeviceMaster AIR you must use a
serial connection to communicate with the DeviceMaster AIR.
• 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 AIR default IP.
Use the following procedure to program the IP address using Redboot.
1. Establish communications with the DeviceMaster AIR using the serial (Page
47) or telnet (Page 48) 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 AIR, if you do not have any other related
Redboot tasks.
