The following table summarizes the configuration files contained on Installation Diskette 4. These files are provided in
template form, and should be modified to suit customer-specific requirements. The files are in MS-DOS format, and may be
edited with any ASCII text editor.
Table 2 - BCU/CAL Configuration Diskette
File Name Usage
IP.DAT Defines the IP address, subnet mask, and host name of the BCU/CAL.
ROUTES.DAT Defines network routing paths between the BCU/CAL and other hosts on the customer’s
network. Syntax is similar to the UNIX /etc/gateways file.
EXPORTS.DAT Defines the BCU/CAL NFS export list for units which have been purchased with the NFS file
server software feature. File contents specify NFS client IP address(es) and the BCU/CAL
directory(s) they are privileged to mount. Syntax is similar to the UNIX/etc/exports file.
CAL.DAT Defines the site interfaces from CAL to the EDACS System Manager. Contents of this file
are directly related to configuration parameters which must be set on the Emulex Terminal
Server(s).
4.2.1.1. User Configuration Files
This section discusses the contents of the user configuration files contained on Installation Diskette 4. These files should
be modified according to customer requirements. When changes are made to the file contents, the BCU/CAL should be
rebooted with the diskette installed in the floppy drive.
4.2.1.1.1. IP.DAT Configuration File
The IP.DAT configuration file is provided in template form on Installation Diskette 4. This file is common to both the
BCU and CAL feature licenses. It defines the unit's Internet parameters on the end user's local or wide area network. The
following three lines show the default contents of the IP.DAT file. The values shown in bold print should be modified by the
end user. Only “space” characters should be used between the parameter keywords and the end user assigned values. Any
errors detected in the file will be displayed on the local console during system boot.

Table 3 - IP.DAT File Parameters
Parameter Meaning
IP_ADDRESS IP address of the BCU/CAL, in Internet dotted-decimal notation.
HOST_NAME Host name of the BCU/CAL, up to 32 characters long.
SUBNET_MASK IP subnet mask for the BCU/CAL. Specified as 8 hexadecimal digits, in upper case.
4.2.1.1.2. ROUTES.DAT Configuration File
The ROUTES.DAT configuration file specifies network routing paths to be established at system boot. Typically, this
file will only be required if the BCU/CAL is connected to a wide area network, where routers exist between the unit and other
customer host facilities. The template file contains a few example routes, which are commented out (i.e., preceded with a #
character). If no network routing is required, this file may be omitted, or left unaltered.
A log file (1.2/log/routes.log) is generated on each system boot. This file contains a summary of successful routing
additions, as well as any errors detected during processing of the ROUTES.DAT file.
