The
Ethernet address
equals the serial number of the AXIS
7100 with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen.
Example:
The host will return
‘Reply from 172.16.253.80...’
or a
similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and
that the communication is established.
Notes:
Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download
the IP address and verify the communication
:
The
Ethernet address
or
node address
equals the AXIS 7100
serial number with each pair of digits separated by a colon.
arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86
ping 172.16.253.80
• ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator
using the System Settings page.
• Once the AXIS 7100 has established communication using an appro-
priate IP address, the
arp/ping
commands cannot be used to
change the address. The reason for this is to avoid accidental or unau-
thorized changes of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 7100 to make it
accept the setting of the IP address. You can perform a restart
remotely via the AXIS 7100 web interface. See “
Specifying the System
Settings ”on page 39
.
• When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, the response
time may be significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
