[hpsdr] How to configure a hermes IP connection?

[Jim Lynch]

I think it was Scotty that told me at the DEC that the Hermes board 
would use DHCP to get an address when I plugged it into my lan.  It 
didn't.  I found a ANAN document that sort of suggested the same thing 
and also said that you could plug it into a computer directly without a 
crossover cable.  That's not true either.  When I hooked it up directly 
I had no lights.  I couldn't find a crossover cable but did use a switch 
and it got lights. However I don't have any idea what the default IP 
address is so I can't connect to it and it apparently isn't running a 
dhcp server since my computer tried to get an address and failed.

This is an original Hermes board.  I vaguely recall when I first got it 
the instructions said you had to connect directly to it and set your 
computer to an address in the correct subnet that the Hermes had a fixed 
address in.  I also recall it might have had an '8' in it like 
192.168.8.x but it's been a few years and many lost braincells since.

Since this board has never had a firmware update, the instructions I'm 
reading are not applicable, so would some kind soul tell me where I 
might find instructions for this old board?

Thanks,
