assigned to IPC-1-R. Once the assignment is made, you can lock the settings, by accessing the IP setup page
and selecting the IP Mode: Static. This prevents additional changes to be made with either DHCP or ARP-Ping.
To enable DHCP, access the Setup web page, then IP settings and select Mode DHCP. A reboot is required.
3. Setting the IP address using ARP-Ping
To set the IP address using ARP, connect the ethernet connection to your network and apply power to IPC-1-R.
Using ARP you use a computer to set the IP address. The IP address assigned to IPC-1-R must be use the
same network segment as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across routed or switched
networks.
For security purposes, ARP-Ping will only work within the first two minutes of powering up the IPC-1-R.
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address is used. This address is located on the bottom of
the unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
Windows
Open a DOS window.
1. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the IPC-1-R and the <MAC
address> is the MAC Address of the IPC-1-R. The MAC Address of the IPC-1-R is located on bottom
of the unit.
Example: arp -s 192.168.7.203 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
|--- new IP addr. --| |------ MAC addr. ------|
2. Ping the IPC-1-R to program the IP address into the IPC-1-R by typing:
ping <IP Address>
If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed
properly, or the IP Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the problem persists, contact the
Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.
3. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d <IP Address>
4. Ping the IPC-1-R (repeat step 2) to confirm that it has been programmed properly.
If the IPC-1-R fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the Dataprobe
support hotline.
To lock the settings, select the IP Mode: Static. This prevents additional changes to be made with
either DHCP or ARP-Ping.

Setting the IP address setip.exe
Dataprobe provides a utility program to streamline the setting of the IP address. This program duplicates the
steps used in the ARP-Ping method above. Download this program at
http://dataprobe.com/files/control/setip.exe
. This windows program is self extracting file with the program and
help file. The setip.exe program must be run from the same subnet as the IPC-1-R. As with ARP-Ping, the
program must be run within 2 minutes of powering up the IPC-1-R.
