After the system boots the "Network Identification Wizard" will launch:

Other instructions:
========================
Use COM Port 2 to connect the teststand PC to the VME.

In order to upgrade your SBC to P00-00-04 at the VxWorks prompt enter "< newFlash"
Reboot the SBC (e.g., type "reboot" without the quotes at the VxWorks prompt) and verify that P00-00-04 appears in the startup message.

Find from your network administrator a machine that serves port 37. You can verify that it does by telneting to it from a PC DOS prompt with
"telnet <timeHost> 37" and seeing whether you get some gibberish back instead of an "access denied" type message.
Modify C:\VxWorks\setTime with the time server's IP and routing information.
Do "< setTime" at the VxWorks prompt. Reboot the board and verify that the startup messages contain the correct time.
