Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations (which may be a UNIX workstation) will respond with an IP address. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions. Note: Once the OkiLAN 6100e+ has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6100e+ configuration utility (which is run by accessing the OkiLAN 6100e+ using telnet) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. This means that a BOOTP server needs to be available only during installation of the OkiLAN 6100e+. Address Formats Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are expressed in 6 bytes (hexadecimal format) usually separated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a range from 00 to FF. Example: 00:40:68:17:50:A4 IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes (decimal format) usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255. Example: 192.168.42.1 Configuration File The purpose of BOOTP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The BOOTP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a bootpd daemon) performs this function using one configuration file and one or more daemons. The configuration file is "/etc/bootptab" and the daemon is called bootpd. IV - 56 OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User's Guide
