ÂGet & Configure IP of LinPAC-5000
The LinPAC-5000 network setting includes two ways. One is DHCP and the
other is “Assigned IP”. DHCP is the default setting after the LinPAC-5000 is
produced and this way is easy for users. However, if your network system is
without DHCP server, then users need to configure the network setting by using
“Assigned IP”.
Boot up LinPAC-5000 and telnet to LinPAC-5000 first.
Type in “vi /etc/network/interfaces” to open the network setting file.
