CHAPTER 4 BOARD AND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the configuration of the Cyclades-PC300. After the general instructions, guided
examples are provided to assist in parameter selection. Read the example closest to your application if in
doubt as to the best value for a parameter.
STEP ONE
Go to the directory
/etc/cyclades/pc300 and type ls.
Each PC300 interface is assigned a device with the name hdlcN (where N is an integer). For the one-port
model, one ifcfg-hdlcN file must be created. For the two-port model, two files must be created. If this is the first
board being installed, the sample file ifcfg-hdlc0 will have already been placed in the directory above. When
additional boards/ports are installed, the ifcfg-hdlc0 file will not be overwritten (since it is being used by the first
interface installed), and additional files (ifcfg-hdlc1, etc.) must be created.
The notation hdlcN will be used throughout this manual to represent the file/port being manipulated and the
letter N should always be replaced by the appropriate integer.
When Frame Relay is used, an additional file with the name ifcfg-pvcN (where N is an integer) must
be created for each permanent virtual circuit (PVC).
STEP TWO
Create and/or modify the ifcfg-hdlcN file(s) for the ports of the PC300 installed. The parameters in the ifcfg-
hdlcN file are as follows:
Parameter Description Value
DEVICE The device name assigned by the computer to
this interface.
hdlcN
BOARD The board type. pc300
IPADDR The IP address of this interface.
