If you do not see characters displayed by your terminal program within 30 seconds after the unit is
powered up, you must troubleshoot your setup. An incorrectly wired cable or incorrect port setting in
your terminal emulation program are the most common problems. Refer to
Appendix K - Specifica-
tions
for the signal connections for the Meridian II.
Once you have successfully established communications with the Meridian II, you may proceed to
configure the network parameters using
netconfig
(see below). Then you can communicate with
the Meridian II over the network using
telnet
or
ssh
and synchronize your network computers to
UTC using NTP.
Using netconfig to Set Up Your IP
NOTE
When setting up the IP addresses on both network port 0 (eth0) and 1 (eth1):
1. Be sure that they are NOT on the same subnet.
2. Configure the default gateway on either port 0 (eth0) or port 1 (eth1), but NOT both.
NOTE
If you want to use the HTTPS Interface, then be sure to configure the name server IP address during the
netconfig
process. The HTTPS Interface will not operate properly if this is configured incorrectly. Only
one name server is required, but two gives some redundancy.
The following shows the beginning of the
netconfig
interactive script:
*******************************************************************************
*************** Meridian II GPS IPV4/IPV6 Network Configuration ***************
*******************************************************************************
* *
* This script will configure the TCP/IPV4/IPV6 network parameters for your *
* Meridian II GPS. We will first configure IPV4 and then IPV6. Your *
* Meridian II GPS has two Ethernet interfaces, called eth0 and eth1. For *
* each of IPV4 and IPV6, we will first configure eth0 and then eth1. *
* *
* You can choose to keep the existing configuration of either interface and *
* reconfigure the other. You can also choose to “unconfigure” either of *
* the two interfaces if both are not needed in your application. *
* *
* You will be able to reconfigure your system at any time by typing: *
* *
* netconfig *
* *
* The settings you make now will not take effect until you reboot your *
* Meridian II GPS, so if you make a mistake, just re-run this script before *
* rebooting. *
* *
* You will be prompted to enter your IPV4/IPV6 network parameters now. *
