4.8.3 LAN Parameters Setup through parallel interface
The NIC board shipped from the factory has defualt paramaters, therefore before use it it is mandatory to configure the
LAN parameters.
On the partner area folder of our Web Site in the SP40, firmware folder, the following file is available for the updating of
the NIC parameters:
SP40LANCFG.ZIP
Containing the files:
lanpar.bat Batch file to handle the following two files through the parallel interface.
lanpar.hdr NIC configuration header command (do not modify it!)
lanpar.txt NIC configuration parameters (change for Customer LAN environment setup, see below)
The lanpar.txt file is a pure ASCII text file contains the following lines with the default values as indicated below.
Important rules:
1) Every command line must be in a single line separated by CR+LF.
2) Do not remove the start-of text "{" and end-of text "}" characters.
3) The key words (i.e.: IP ADDRESS) must be at the beginning of the line and must terminate with the "="
character.
4) It is not necessary to define all the parameters. Parameters not defined, maintain the old value.
5) Every formal error (key word unknown or values over the specifications) cause the interruption of the command.
