4. Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping
The ARP technique uses a PC running a command line (DOS Window) to set
the IP Address. To set the IP address using ARP, connect the iBoot to your
local network and apply power. The IP address to be assigned to iBoot must
be use the same network segment as the computer assigning the address.
ARP does not work across routed or switched networks.
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address must be
known. This address is located on the bottom of the unit. The syntax for the
MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
Windows (98 and Later)
1. Open a DOS window. (Run:Command)
2. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the
iBoot and the <MAC address> is the MAC Address of the iBoot. The
MAC Address of the iBoot is located on bottom of the unit.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
|- new IP addr. --| |----- MAC addr. ----|
3.
Ping the iBoot to program the IP address into the iBoot.
Type:
ping <IP Address>
If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the
address has not been programmed properly, or the IP or MAC Address
is incorrect. In either case repeat step 2. If the problem persists, contact
the Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.
4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d <IP Address>
5. Ping the iBoot to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the iBoot fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem
persists, contact the Dataprobe support hotline.
Unix, Linux, MAC and others
Consult your systems administrator for information on other means of setting
an IP Address. The unit should be pinged after the IP Address has been set
to confirm proper operation.
