Update for MOSES Beta

This page deals with two related issues: how to find the ethernet address of a machine and how to check that your system is "ok" for MOSES. The script ea_get serves both purposes. How they work differs, however, between the Windows and UNIX worlds. In both cases, you must use a command prompt, and execute ea_get from the \ultra\bin\security directory. On UNIX, you can simply issue the command:

      ea_get
or
      ea_get name

In the first case, you will receive the name, IP address, and Ethernet Address of the local machine. In the second, you will get the same information about the remote machine named "name". These commands will also create a file named "send". If you are using this to establish security, simply fax or email us this file.

In the Windows world, one should use a slightly different command:

      ea_get xxx.x.xxx.x

where xxx.x.xxx.x should be replaced with the IP address of the machine for which you want the ethernet address. IP addresses are not nearly as friendly as names, but names are not always available in Windows. To use ea_get, one first needs to find the IP address of the machine in question. This is accomplished by running on this machine the command:

    ipconfig

This command will tell you the IP address and the ethernet address. Here, using ea_get simply checks that MOSES will run properly.

If you are having trouble with MOSES security, you need to run ea_get and specify the IP address you supplied us. (This is contained in the file \ultra\data\site\server). If the ethernet address returned is the same as you sent to us, then there was a typographical error made somewhere in the process and we need to send you a new file. If you do not get the expected result, then

The machine specified is on a different subnet than the one you are using, or
The local language makes our interpretation of the output incorrect.

If you are using a network that has multiple subnets, you will need to send us the IP address and ethernet address for each router in the subnet where you want to run MOSES. In the last case, you will need to get in touch with us. These procedures produce two files: file and send. Either fax or email us these two files.
