Setting temporary IP address
using ARP command
This procedure will work only in a local network.
After this procedure the temporary IP will be active
only until restart/reboot. After a restart the procedure
has to be repeated.
STEP 1
Either use a network cable to link the Exstreamer and
the PC directly, or connect the Exstreamer to the PC
via your network switch and power the device. Make
sure that you have a valid static IP address configured on
your PC (e.g. 192.168.0.2)
STEP 2
Windows : For a command window. click on «Start», click
on «Run..», in the «Open» field type cmd , click on «OK».
OSX / Linux : Open a terminal window.
STEP 3
Please proceed to step 4 if you linked the PC directly to
the device in step 1. To ensure that you use a free IP
address (not already used by another device in the network)
please use the Ping command. To verify availability in
this example we assume the PC to have the IP address
«192.168.0.2» and want to check if «192.168.0.6» is free.
Type
ping 192.168.0.6
and hit the «Enter» key. You
should get no reply which gives you reasonable assertion
that the «pinged» IP is available.
STEP 4
Look for the Exstreamer’s MAC address printed on a
label on the bottom of the device (12 hex digits, separated
by a hyphen every 2 digits). Type into the windows
command window
arp -s 192.168.0.6 00-08-E1-00-B1-77
or on a OSX or Linux system type into the terminal
arp -s
192.168.0.6 00:08:E1:00:B1:77
and hit the «Enter» key (replace the digits according to your
devices MAC address). You must have administrative rights
to be able to do so (sudo on OSX / Linux).
STEP 5
Now we have to make the Exstreamer listen to the IP
address «192.168.0.6» using the Telnet command. To do so
type into the command window
telnet 192.168.0.6 1
and hit the «Enter» key (the number «one» must be there
for this command to work correctly !!!). The Exstreamer will
immediately refuse the connection on port 1, but will be
available for browser access as long as the device stays
powered.
STEP 6
To check if the Exstreamer is responding you can use
the ping command again. To do so type
ping 192.168.0.6
and hit the «Enter» key. If you do get a reply the IP address
192.168.0.6 can be used to access the Exstreamer using a
web browser. Please go back to section «2 Network conigura
-
tion by web browser» to conigure a static IP address. If you do
get «request timed out» then please repeat step 5 carefully (you
most likely mistyped the telnet command) or repeat the entire
procedure. If the ARP method does not work for you, refer to
the user manual for further methods.

Troubleshooting
• If the status LEDs (C) stay dark check the power
cabling (installation step 3).
• Check if the green LINK LED (I) is lit, if it is not then
check your network cabling (network port G)
• If you have doubts about the current device settings
you can revert the device to its factory defaults by
pressing the Reset button (A) until the red status LED
(C) blinks rapidly (takes about 10 seconds). The device
will reboot once the button is released.
