Configuring Ethernet for TCP/IP
NOTE: If you are connecting to an existing TCP/IP network, you must contact your
network administrator before proceeding with TCP/IP configuration. Please review
this procedure with your network administrator before performing it.
The following steps assume that you are not connecting to an existing TCP/IP network.
To configure Ethernet board IP Address:
1. Logon as Administrator
a. Hold the Shift key down during start-up to prevent auto-logon as profile. Be sure
to continue holding the shift key until the logon dialog box appears.
b. Log in as administrator. The factory default administrator password on a Profile
system is triton.
2. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network
3. In the Network window, select the Protocols tab and then double click on TCP/IP
Protocol.
4. You must fill in two fields in the IP Address tab; IP Address and Subnet Mask. For
the IP Address, we recommend the following numbering convention. Note that
each Profile system must have a unique IP address.
For the first Profile system, use 128.181.1.1
For the second Profile system, use 128.181.1.2
For the third Profile system, use 128.181.1.3
etc. …
5. For the Subnet mask, use the same value on all Profile systems: 255.255.255.0 and
then click OK to close the TCP/IP Protocol window.
6. Click OK to close the Network window and then restart Windows NT.
Testing Your Ethernet Connection
To test your Ethernet connection:
1. Verify TCP/IP connectivity between Profiles by opening a command prompt
window and typing ping 128.181.1.n , where n is the number for this Profile
system, and then pressing Enter .
2. Check for a reply.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 using the IP address for another Profile system in the network.
