[hpsdr] Static IP address for Metis

[Phil Harman]

Hi Giovanni,

I have a dedicated network card in my PC for my Metis board.  I've set both this board and my Metis to fix IP addresses in the 10.x.x.x range rather than the 192.168.x.x. range of my main network. 

PowerSDR etc finds the card almost immediately but there is some form of handshaking between the PC and Metis when both are first powered on which initially does take a few seconds.

  My metis is connected directly to the only one ethernet port on my PC.
  Bored to wait every time for metis to obtain an APIPA IP address, I would like to set a static IP address using the BootLoader function but I am intimidated by the warning of appendix A about this function being provided for advanced users that understand the implications of setting a fixed IP address. 
  I guess that setting the IP address to metis is like to give her a name so that, as soon activity is started on the connection, the PC will acknowledge the name and start communicating and no time wasted. I'm guessing correctly ?
  Please, do not crucify me, I'm just a radio guy that started vith vacuum tubes .

  Thanks
  Giovanni, IZ0SQZ
