Important: Do not use the BOOTP utility disk if you already have
INTERCHANGE software installed. Instead, use the
boot-server capabilities that came with your
INTERCHANGE software.
Install the DOS/Windows BOOTP server
To install the DOS BOOTP server:
1. Put the utility disk that came with your processor in your
disk drive.
2. Change directory to the disk drive.
3. Type install, and press [Enter].
4. The software is installed in C:\ABIC\BIN. Put this directory in
the path statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Edit the DOS/Windows BOOTP Configuration File
The boot-server configuration file, BOOTPTAB, is located in the
C:\ABIC\BIN directory. This file contains the information needed to
boot SLC 5/05 processors.
You must edit the BOOTPTAB file, which is an ASCII text file, to
include the name, IP address, and hardware address for each
SLC 5/05 processor you want the server to boot. To edit this file:
1. Open the BOOTPTAB file using a text editor.
The file contains lines that look like this:
#Default
string for each type of Ethernet client
defaults5E: ht=1:vm=rfc1048
These are the default parameters for SLC 5/05 processors and
must always precede the client lines in the BOOTPTAB file.
The file also contains a line that looks like this:
plc5name:
tc=defaults5E:ip=aa.bb.cc.dd:ha=0000BC1Cxxyy
Important: Use this line as the configuration template for
SLC 5/05 processors.
