36 CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR TCP/IP: M208 Configuration
Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or npconfig
If you choose computer-aided configuration, you must log on to your system as root
or superuser and use the host software diskette or tape supplied with your M208. If
the software is not provided, or you need a different medium, contact your vendor.
To configure the M208 with the aid of a script, you must:
1 Insert the host software medium into the drive.
2 Login as root user.
3 cd to a directory with at least three megabytes of free space.
4 Transfer the compressed tar file from the media onto the host:
tar xvf /dev/
devicename
devicename is usually fd0 for a diskette.
5 Uncompress this file. Enter:
uncompress npdist.tar.1.Z
6 Untar this file. Enter:
tar xvf npdist.tar.1
A list of files displays and scrolls up on the screen as tar executes and several files
and sub-directories are created.
7 Assign an IP address and IP name to the M208 in your host table (/etc/hosts,
hosts nis map, or DNS name tables).
8 Run ezsetup or npconfig. Enter:
./ezsetup or ./npconfig
If running the host software on an HP/UX system, you need to explicitly set the
Korne shell by adding “
ksh” before “./ezsetup” or “./npconfig”.
9 Enter the number for Configure New Unit from the Main Menu.
10 Follow the prompts.
For more information, please see ezsetup and npconfig on page 32.
