The arp method
The arp command associates your NPS 650’s node address with an IP
address. The IP address is then down-loaded by the ping command. The
arp command syntax depends on your Unix system (see examples below).
This is the syntax for IBM AIX systems:
arp -s 802.5 <host name> <node address> temp
ping <host name>
The node address is the serial number found at the back of the NPS 650.
Each pair of digits must be separated by colons as in examples below.
Examples:
The arp command differs between different Unix systems. The ‘802.5’
argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD-type
systems expect the host name and node address in reversed order.
The host will return ‘salesdept is alive’ or similar indicating that the IP
address has been set, and that communication is established.
Note:
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you should
expect a response time significantly longer than usual.
IBM AIX Systems:
arp -s 802.5 salesdept 00:02:31:48:00:61 temp
ping salesdept
BSD-Type Unix
Systems:
arp -s 00:02:31:48:00:61 salesdept temp
ping salesdept
System V Unix
Systems:
arp -s salesdept 00:02:31:48:00:61 temp
ping salesdept
