30 MPC8240 and MPC8260 Emulation
Chapter 2: Connecting the Emulation Probe to a LAN
To obtain an IP address
1 Obtain the following information from your local network
administrator or system administrator:
• An IP address for the emulation probe.
You can also use a "LAN name" for the emulation probe, but you
must configure it using the integer dot notation (such as
127.0.0.1).
• The gateway address.
The gateway address is an IP address and is entered in integer dot
notation. The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0, which allows all
connections on the local network or subnet. If connections are to
be made to workstations on other networks or subnets, this
address must be set to the address of the gateway machine.
2 Find out whether port numbers 6470 and 6471 are
already in use on your network and if that use
constitutes a conflict.
The host computer interfaces communicate with the
emulation probe through two TCP service ports. The default
base port number is 6470. The second port has the next
higher number (default 6471).
In almost all cases, the default numbers (6470, 6471) can be
used without change. If necessary the default numbers can be
changed if they conflict with some other product on your
network.
To change the port numbers, see page 32. If you have already
set the IP address, you can use a telnet connection instead of a
serial connection to connect to the emulation probe.
