Install Guide
Model: MIL-4711H 8
2. Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file and add the following line:
192.185.2.3 alpha
3. Use the following menu sequence in sam:
Networking--> Communications--> Device Connectivity-->
Boot Protocol--> Actions--> Add
4. In response to the program prompts, add the following information:
BOOTP Device Name: <specify the hostname of the MIL-4711H>
Internet address: <specify the IP address of the MIL-4711H>
Subnet address: <specify the subnet mask of the MIL-4711H>
Station address (hex): <specify the hardware address of the MIL-4711H>
Boot file name: <specify the full path of this file> (e.g.: /etc/BOOTPtab)
5. Answer the prompt for BOOTP Device Adapter Type by clicking first on
Ethernet and then click on Apply .
6. Exit out of SAM.
7. Start BOOTP.
The MIL-4711H will broadcast BOOTP packets and will obtain a response
from the server using the IP address specified in /etc/ BOOTPtab file.
If the BOOTP process is successful, the SYS LED flashes five times per second
until the MIL-4711H resolves its IP address. It flashes once per second after
address resolution.
Note: The IP address in this case is stored in RAM. When the MIL-4711H is powered off, the
address will be lost and when the unit is powered on, the MIL-4711H will RARP again.

To see if the 4711H is up and responding on the network, use the ping command:
ping <hostname>
It should respond with a message that the host is alive. For example, if the MIL-
4711H alpha is responding on the network, the response from ping will be:
alpha is alive
If there is a problem resolving the MIL-4711H name, try using ping with the IP
address for the MIL-4711H:
ping <ip-address>
