3 LAN Configuration
Automatic configuration with Bootp
When automatic configuration with Bootp is selected and the LAN interface is
powered on, it broadcasts a BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) request that contains
its MAC (hardware) address. A BOOTP server daemon searches its database
for a matching MAC address, and if successful, sends the corresponding
configuration parameters to the detector as a BOOTP reply. These parameters
become the active TCP/IP parameters immediately and the TCP/IP connection
can be established.
Configuring the Agilent Bootp service program
NOTE
All examples shown in this chapter will not work in your environment. You
need your own IP-, Subnet-Mask- and Gateway addresses.
NOTE
Assure that the detector configuration switch is set properly. The setting
should be either Bootp or Bootp & Store, see Table 6 on page 35.
NOTE
Assure that the detector connected to the network is powered off.
NOTE
If the Agilent Bootp Service program is not already installed on your PC, then install it from
your Agilent ChemStation CD-ROM, located in folder \Bootp. The screens refer to version
B.01.0x
