1. Determine the IP address you want to use for this computer
  2. Determine the MAC address of the 1st ethernet port on the new computer (/sbin/ifconfig eth0)
  3. Go to /etc/dhcp on master machine
  4. Modify the dhcpd.conf file by adding a section like:

    host k1sus {
         hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
         fixed-address 192.168.10.xxx
        } 
  5. Restart the dhcpd server by doing " sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart" on the fb machine
  6. Modify the hosts file for the remote computer on the fb machine in /diskless/root/etc/hosts and add the new machine and its ip address
  7. Set the computer to boot remotely (easiest way is to just pull the harddrive and make sure there are no CDs in
    • Alternatively you can set the boot order in the setup
  8. Connect the computer's 1st ethernet port to the main network
  9. Connect the computer's 2nd ethernet port to the DAQ network
  10. Compile a IOP model for this new computer.
  11. Add the new IOP model and computer name to the rtsystab file on the fb machine in /diskless/root/etc/
    1. See Notes on getting the CDS Realtime Code Generator working

    2. You can build the model on any of the front ends
