Networker for SN10X Software Installation
9. The node will then take 5 minutes to install the new software.
Assigning New IP Addresses
All Networkers shipped from factory have the same default IP address which is
192.168.021.70 and a node name of ‘sn100_1’. This means that for a system with more than
one Networker, unique IP addresses have to be assigned. (Note that, the IP address may also
have been defaulted by the installation program, if the file recover.bat was not created by the
user in the C:\220OS directory of the Networker).
The unique IP address assignment can be achieved easily in a SN100/SN102 by editing the
file 220NODE.CFG appropriately. You will need a screen and keyboard connected to it, and a
floppy disk with and editor program. You can make such a disk by copying the files EDIT.COM
and QBASIC.EXE from the DOS directory on a console or PC.
However, a SN104 cannot have a video or keyboard attached, and therefore the following
special procedure MUST be followed when assigning a unique address.
1. Disconnect all Networkers from the network except the one to be reconfigured, and a
PC or SN100/102 on which to run IOFTPDOS or IOFTP32.
2. Create a file called 220NODE.SN and modify it appropriately.
Note: if you call your file 220NODE.CFG then you will overwrite the config file for
the IOFTP program!!!
3. Create a file called INSTALL.BAT and let it contain a single line as follows:
COLDBOOT
4. Download the config file using the following
IOFTPxxx LOGIN SN100_1 PUT 220NODE.SN 220NODE.CFG
LOGOUT
5. Download the install batch file using the following
IOFTPxxx LOGIN SN100_1 PUT INSTALL.BAT . LOGOUT
6. Wait for up to a minute for the new values in the new downloaded 220node.cfg to take
effect.
7. Connect the next Networker back onto the network and follow steps 2 through 6.
