| Background, purpose,
requirements. Please read this first - it's short. |
Intent of this tutorial, what you need to use

Files you need and where to get them. (The size

connection.) |

tools)! Available for Windoze, Mac, and Linux. Read this before
you go to Sun's website - it may save you time and confusion. |

Here's where most people have trouble. This page may help. |
| Install and Load
TINI's firmware |
Use JavaKit to load up the TINI API |
| Configure TINI's ethernet |
Run the TINI command shell (slush). Set up TINI's
IP parameters. Ping TINI. Communicate with Telnet and FTP. |
| Configure your PC's ethernet. |
You MUST have a TCP/IP connection on your computer

TiniTools make programming TINI easier, so use
them. |
