This setup is currently in place in the ORBIT lab room * Step 1: Connect the computer to the node's CM interface using cross-over cable and configure the node's IP address to 10.0.0.200 netmask 255.0.0.0 * Step 2: Connect the node ID that you want to program to the node ID connector socket on the front of the node * Step 3: Connect power to the node and wait for the node ID box to start blinking * Step 4: Telnet to 10.1.222.222, this is the default CM IP for a new node ID box {{{ telnet 10.1.222.222 }}} * You will see a CM prompt like this {{{ *** WINLAB ORBIT CHASSIS MANAGER CONSOLE *** type ? for help }}} * At the prompt, type eprom and hit enter, you should get the following screen {{{ Usage: eprom NodeType p1 p2 HostBaud where NodeType: 1=GridNode, 2=SupportNode, 3=SandboxNode p1 p2: p1=x, p2=y GridNode coord (x,y) p1 p2: p1=100, p2=SupportNode ID p1 p2: p1=101...199 Sandbox ID, p2: XXXXYYYY SandboxNode coord (X,Y) HostBaud: Host Console Baud Rate (1...5): 1=9600, 2=19200, 3=38400, 4=57600, 5=115200 Example: eprom 1 5 6 4 (all numbers decimal) }}} * Step 5: As an example to program node1-1 belonging to sandbox 5, you will use the convention 3 - for sandbox domain, 105 for IP subnet of sandbox5, 17 - for first node of sandbox and 1 for baud rate {{{ eprom 3 105 17 1 }}} * Step 6: This should give you an OK message, with a request to ''reboot'' the node ID box * Step 7: Type ''reboot'' at the node ID console * Step 8: You can kill the telnet session and now log in using the new node ID's IP which is 10.1.105.17 (for the above example) }}}
