To use this file directly, do the following:
1. Uncomment lines 50 and 53 and edit line 53 “option AMINO.software_uri
http://server/image.mcfs” to include the URL for the mc2.mcfs file that you have
placed on your webserver
2. Edit lines 59, 64, 69, 74, 79 and (optionally) 84 to provide details for your network
3. Edit lines 111 and 112 to provide the address range to be used on your network
4. Copy this file to the correct location ( for example, /etc/dhcp3) and restart your DHCP
server (for example, /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart)
To modify your existing DHCP configuration:
1. Add the Amino option declarations by copying lines 13-41.
2. Add “option AMINO.software_uri http://server/image.mcfs” (edited for
your mc2.mcfs file) to the information given to the STBs
3. Optionally you can include lines 43-54 from the sample file to provide this information to
only those STBs that identify themselves as Amino x4x STBs.
4. Restart your DHCP server
For more information on configuring a Linux DHCP server for the
AmiNET STBs see the Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
1.3.2 Windows
