How to program an E2T

I just added an article on how to program an E2T.

I'm inviting your comments.

looks good Ralph, i didn't even know about the togglecpu command
Nothing in there about what to change if setting a static IP address?

Thanks for the feed back.
I'm not sure what you mean here:

Nothing in there about what to change if setting a static IP address?

Can you elaborate?

I think he is asking how to set/change the E2T card with a static IP address instead of using a DHCP reservation.

Ah i shouldn't assume everyone does the same thing.
I tend to set an E2T card up with a static address rather than DHCP.
I forget that it can be done with DHCP.

Thanks for the input.  I've modified the page to explain what needs to be done to set it statically or via DHCP

From my notes...

Open a RAW connection to the RTC (not the E2T card) on port 2007

do a 'c' command, then it is similar to RTC boot change, and make sure things are set as follows:

boot device = motfcc (Boot device is Network)
processor number = 0 (Not used)
host name = bootHost (Do not change)
file name = /sysro/E2T8260 (Boot file location and file name)
inet on ethernet (e) = xx.xx.xx.xx:ffffff00 (IP address and subnet mask (hex) for Controller E2T, for example, 134.199.63.11:ffffff00)
inet on backplane (b) = [blank]
host inet (h) = xx.xx.xx.xx (IP address of Controller RTC)
gateway inet (g) = xx.xx.xx.xx (IP address of the end user’s default gateway for the 3300 ICP, must be outside the DHCP range)
user (u) = ftp (not used)
ftp password (ftp) = @ (not used)
flags (f) = 0x0 (use static IP address above)
                0x40 (use DHCP static reservation)
target name (n) = [blank]
startup script (s) = [blank]
other (o) = [blank] (If something is in this field, do not change it)

Press @ <Return> at prompt to reboot E2T card with new parameters

EDIT: I see after I posted this, there is also an alternate method to access the E2T, good to know.

Thanks Ace,
I've added your notes to the page.
