Automatic Configuration with Bootp
Automatic Configuration with Bootp
When automatic configuration with Bootp is selected and the LAN
Interface Card 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 card
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
All examples shown in this chapter will not work in your environment.
You need your own IP- , Subnet- Mask- and Gateway addresses.
Assure that the detector configuration switch is set properly. The setting
should be either Bootp or Bootp & Store, see Table 5 on page 22.
If the Agilent Bootp Service program is not already installed on your PC, then install it from
your Agilent ChemStation DVD, located in folder \Bootp.
