MPC8240 and MPC8260 Emulation 29
Chapter 2: Connecting the Emulation Probe to a LAN
Setting Up a LAN Connection to a PC or
Workstation
The emulation probe has two LAN connectors:
• A BNC connector that can be directly connected to
an IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE2 cable (ThinLAN).
When using this connector, the emulation probe
provides the functional equivalent of a Medium Attachment Unit
(MAU) for ThinLAN.
• An IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T (StarLAN) connector.
Use either the 10BASE2 or the 10BASE-T connector. Do not
use both. The emulation probe will not work with both
connected at the same time.
You must assign an IP address (Internet address) to the
emulation probe before it can operate on the LAN. You can also
set other network parameters such as a gateway address. The
IP address and other network parameters are stored in
nonvolatile memory within the emulation probe.
The emulation probe automatically sets a subnet mask based
on the subnet mask used by other devices on the network.
You can configure LAN parameters in any of the following
ways:
• Using the built-in terminal interface over a serial connection. This
is the most reliable method.
• Using BOOTP, which is part of the HP-UX, SunOS, and Solaris
operating systems.
