Remote Annex 6300 Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 6300
2-18
Installing to and Loading from a UNIX Host
This section describes how to install the Remote Annex 6300’s
operational software and image to a UNIX host (see the Annex
Administrator’s Guide for UNIX for more details).
1 Install the image on a UNIX host. The software installation notes
describe how to do this.
If you have a BOOTP server (see Chapter 3), boot
the Remote Annex 6300. Otherwise, continue to the
next step.
2 Execute the ROM Monitor addr command:
❑ Enter the Remote Annex 6300’s Internet address.
❑ Modify any other parameters that the Remote Annex
6300 may require for the initial boot, i.e., the preferred
load host’s Internet address and the subnet mask (see
addr on page 3-5).
3 Execute the boot command.
After successful execution of the boot command, the Remote
Annex 6300 is up and running (see boot on page 3-8).
Auto-initializing the Remote Annex 6300
The Remote Annex 6300 is distributed without an IP address or
preferred load host (UNIX/IP) defined in ROM. When the device is
booted, the Remote Annex 6300 attempts to auto-initialize itself using
BOOTP (bootstrap protocol) and RARP (Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol).
