Digi MIL-4711H - Manual (Page 6)

Install Guide
Model: MIL-4711H 6
7. If prompted with a message like Warning: Entering monitor will lock out
other Ethernet access and force reset , type [Y] to get the command prompt.
8. Type [N] to enter the network protocols menu.
9. Type [T] to enter the TCP/IP menu.
10. Change the settings for the TCP/IP engine options as prompted.
11. Return to the main menu and reboot the MIL-4711H with the [R] command.
Note: On IBM RS-6000 systems, use the following command instead of the command given in
step 3 to specify that the connection is Ethernet II:
arp -s ether alpha 0:40:c8:0:01:2B
On AT&T Star servers and NCR systems, use this command:
arpbypass set alpha 0x00.0x40.0xc8.0x00.0x01.0x2B
On Windows 95/98 or NT with TCP/IP systems, use this command:
arp -s alpha 00-40-C8-00-01-2B
The MIL-4711H is now configured on the network.

RARP provides a way for devices on the network to query a server for their IP
address at start-up. This only works if the 4711H is on the same subnet as the host
running the RARP daemon. however, it will RARP if its address is set to 0.0.0.0.
To set the IP Address with RARP:
1. Verify that you have RARP (usually located in the /usr/etc directory).
2. Find the hardware address of the MIL-4711H (on the bottom of the unit).
3. Add the address to the /etc/ethers file, or the NIS master ethers database. For
example, if a device named alpha has an address of 0040C802ABCD , then add:
00:40:c8:02:ab:cd:alpha
4. Add the IP address and the host name to the /etc/hosts file. For example, a
device named alpha with an address 192.185.2.3 , add the following line:
192.185.2.3 alpha
Note: For hosts using NIS and ethers databases, rebuild the databases at this time. Change to
the YP directory and type make at the command prompt. Then continue this procedure:
5. Power on the MIL-4711H.
