Configure TINI's IP Address (fixed IP)

You must do this over the serial port with JavaKit since you can't access TINI via the ethernet without first assigning it an IP address.

At a slush prompt, type "ipconfig" for help, and you will see that it is not configured.

TINI /> ipconfig

Hostname          : TINI.
Current IP        : 
Default Gateway   : 
Subnet Mask       : 
Ethernet Address  : 0:60:35:0:f:86
Primary DNS       : 
Secondary DNS     : 
DNS Timeout       : 0 (ms)
DHCP Server       : 
DHCP Enabled      : false
Mailhost          : 
Restore From Flash: Not Committed

TINI />

I'm lazy, so I create JavaKit macro files to do my ipconfig for me. For example, here is one set up for our network, our public demo TINI system. I call it "ip45.mac". That's it, the macro file is simply this one line of text:

ipconfig -a 166.70.144.45 -m 255.255.255.224 -g 166.70.144.33

That's it. Use JavaKit File->Load Macro and then Macro->Run Macro to configure TINI's IP address. Note: do not use this address in your own TINI, as this address is part of the systronix domain. This configures TINI for a fixed IP address. DHCP is a little different.

Now if you type "ipconfig" you will see something like:

TINI /> ipconfig

Hostname          : TINI.
Current IP        : 166.70.144.45
Default Gateway   : 166.70.144.33
Subnet Mask       : 255.255.255.224
Ethernet Address  : 
Primary DNS       : 
Secondary DNS     : 
DNS Timeout       : 0 (ms)
DHCP Server       : 
DHCP Enabled      : false
Mailhost          : 
Restore From Flash: Enabled
Restored last boot: false

TINI />

Now is a good time to set date and time in TINI with the slush date command.
